Papa Doc Bush stated after the swift victory in Gulf War 1 that America had "kicked the Vietnam syndrome once and for all," signifying the end of national hesitation to use military force, a mindset born from the Vietnam War's trauma. He linked this success to laying "the ghosts of Vietnam to rest beneath the sands of the Arabian desert," asserting a renewed American confidence in military action.

My doctor’s nurse said anytime a Bush was in office, war was around the corner. She and her sisters retired from military service when Baby Doc Bush got selected in 2000.

and I'm proud of my service, despite what Trumpedo is doing right now, I served honorably and he can't take that away from those of us who did.
