      Ok, the stock market is at a near record high right now, under Joe Biden. Does that mean Joe Biden is now the best president ever?

          Me= Obama was the one who got bin Ladn

          GOP =No, it was the troops that got bin Ladn.

          Me = So, Bush dressing up like a fighter pilot and pretending he’d done anything was a giant insult to the real heroes?

          GOP = Why do you hate America?

            Bush was a fighter pilot, though, in the 70s.

            In order to get out of fighting in Vietnam, he joined the air national guard. Never flew a mission and ended up getting grounded because he didn’t complete a physical on time in 1972.

              We’re splitting hairs here, but to me, never flying a mission and getting grounded means he was never a ‘fighter pilot.’

              I mean, we agree on the basics and have a mildly different interpretation of the terms.

              Have a safe and happy holiday season

                A large portion of fighter pilots don’t actually fly a mission or a mission that involves weapons activation. That doesn’t make them any less of a fighter pilot. Most of the time they are training or just protecting assets.

                But if you want to walk up to these guys and suggest they are not a fighter pilot cause they didn’t kill anyone yet then go ahead.

                  I haven’t met every pilot on Earth. I know that there wasn’t a day when I wouldn’t have told George W. Bush that he wasn’t a fighter pilot.
