(3,626 posts)At the end of the article: "But his time flying planes in Texas during the height of the Vietnam War remains a defining part of his political biography nonetheless, a chapter he proudly referenced in 2003, when he landed in a jet plane on the deck of an aircraft carrier to declare the end of major combat operations in Iraqright before the country sank into a bloody, years-long war that would divide the United States and claim tens of thousands of Iraqi and American lives."
Is there actual proof that he was the one flying that jet? I never believed it. Everything about that stupid day, including pretending that the carrier was at sea, when it was extremely close to the San Diego shore, seemed a lie. This presidency, from beginning to end, will infuriate and enrage me until the day I die.
