Hmmm....For solidarity, I have my suspicions, more likely another opportunistic photo opt., that guy just can't get enough of being on TV. The movie footage of this Bush getting shot down, parachuting and being rescued played like a Hollywood movie while he was pursuing the Presidency. Then with a little common sense ,deductive reasoning and calculation of odds, some we able to figure that the real story there , was that it was staged propaganda, to enable him to easy path to position. Compliments from his rich and political father. My heart goes out to the boy and his parents and congratulations to former President Bush, he successfully managed yet another media coverage photo opt. in attempts to convince US people as to what a great guy he is... after all judgement isn't to far into the future, if our calculations are correct.
