George H.W. Bush, USN

Former president George Herbert Walker Bush tells the harrowing details of how he narrowly survived getting shot down near Chichi Jima in the Pacific during WWII. Pilot Bush bailed out after his fighter plane catches on fire and fortunately gets picked up by a U.S. submarine. Bush recollects the story with a tinge of humility because he doesn't understand how he survived when two of his friends in the plane were killed.

this man is a gentleman and a hero. so self-effacing and a wonderful testament to honor and friendship above action.

I know the answer! It is found in the Book of Jeremiah. "Before you were conceived in the womb; GOD KNEW you."

GHW was a different kind of president than his son. I'm a Democrat, but I think he was actually a pretty good president and I absolutely respect and admire his service as a Navy pilot.

Even if I think GHW was an alright president, this is the kind of comment I can respect.

For the taxpayer-funded government trolls who read my every word. You will do anything for the next promotion. You will lie, cheat, deceive, plant evidence, to allow scumbags like this to operate without recourse. You have formed a conspiracy of Treason for allowing this upright mammal to continue with his pedo-satan drug trafficking for over 40 years. You will lie to your children everyday until that real promotion offer comes. At that point, you would sell your soul AND your children to Satan

George Herbert Walker "poppy" Bush was born George Scherff, Jr in Nazi Germany. He was imported here via Operation Paperclip. Scherff is the son of George Scherff, Nicolas Tesla's assistant. "Curious George" is based on "poppy" stealing scientific data for his father that included free energy capabilities. Joseph Mengele was a close family friend. John Ramsey, breeder of JonBonet, was subpeoned in the Iran Contra hearings. Henry Lee Lucas was pardoned by GHW Bush after murdering hundreds 4 Bush

@tylertown100 Clinton talked circles around Bush in the 92 debates. I like Bush Sr, but he was/is verbally akward

Amazing! George HW Bush, after seeing this who would believe that he is the son of Prescott, a financial backer for the Nazis. Also, a drug baron who has overseen the importation of more drugs than all the Colombians combined. A pedophile and an elitist fascist. Poppy Bush should have been an actor, he'd be more succesful than Tom Hanks.
