What does that have to do with George Bush and George Bush JR?

Bush SR enlisted in the U.S. Navy durring ww2 at the age of 18. He was the navy's youngest pilot for a little but. He flew 50 odd combat missions. I think he was shot down one time and picked up by a sub...

I'm not sure how your navy works, but we have these things called Aircraft Carriers.

Here is a description:

"Each U.S. Navy aircraft carrier has a variety of aircraft, including fighters, bombers, and aircraft for airborne surveillance and early warning, electronic warfare, antisubmarine warfare, and logistics. Carriers stand as the most capable warships at sea. The carrier is the core of a large group of vessels known as a carrier battle group, which includes 12 to 15 other vessels, including destroyers, cruisers, and supply ships.

A Nimitz-class aircraft carrier weighs about 90,000 metric tons and carries 85 to 90 aircraft. By comparison, a Russian aircraft carrier weighs about 61,200 metric tons and carries about 20 aircraft. A typical load of aircraft for a Nimitz-class carrier consists of the following: F/A-18 Hornets (20-24 planes) for air-to-air combat or ground attack; F-14 Tomcats (20-24 planes) for air defense of the carrier; FA-6E Intruders (14 planes) for all-weather bomber attack; E-A6B Prowlers (5 planes) for electronic warfare; S-3A Vikings (8 planes) for antisubmarine warfare; and SH-60 Sea Hawks (4 helicopters) for search-and-rescue and for antisubmarine warfare.

Other aircraft on board might include support airplanes and the AV-8B Harrier—the vertical takeoff and landing attack aircraft used by the Marines. This array of aircraft can strike enemy aircraft, surface ships, or submarines, as well as ground targets deep in enemy territory. Some of the carrier’s aircraft employ electronic warfare, using special electronics to jam enemy communications and to cloak U.S. forces from detection by the enemy. Because of its varied and long-range fighting capabilities, the aircraft carrier also serves a central role in maintaining sea control."

Our navy also has Land based aircraft. Here is a description:


"The U.S. Navy’s land-based aircraft support its ocean deployments. Long-range antisubmarine planes detect, track, and destroy enemy submarines, and keep track of surface ships over large areas of ocean. The Navy’s communications aircraft allow the president of the United States to order submerged ballistic missile submarines to launch a nuclear attack. Many types of logistical aircraft provide transport, communications, and refueling support to U.S. forces."

I need to see examples of this wrongdoing... Then I can comment.
