George H. W. Bush was a pilot in the US Navy. He was one of the youngest pilots at the time. He probably liked the glory and excitement of flying combat missions. He also felt a patriotic duty to defend his country in a war in which the US was fighting on two fronts and was more gravely threatened that ever before or since.
