There is courage, and there is arrogance.

If Bush the Second had had any of the former, his own military service record would have been far more appropriate to the commanding officer of the most powerful Armed Forces on the planet...

Sadly, missing muster for unspecified reasons (I've always assumed hangovers were involved) is far from glorious, and would have gotten a less-connected man tossed into the brig to cool his heels.

So we see the early manifestations of the arrogance that our ruling class is taught at a young age- a big FUCK YOU to those of us who actually have to answer for our youthful mistakes.
