Bush bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia, and also kissing him on the cheek. And Mr. Obama has also bowed his head in front of a world leader whose custom was not to shake hands. When you are a head of state, you are expected to understand the customs and beliefs of other countries. So, yes, both Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama have bowed their head in front of certain kings.

Was George H W Bush in the army?
George was a Naval Aviator. He has two stories of cotroversy surrounding his name. In one instance, he was on a bombing training flight, when he 'lost' his engine. Instead of 'pickling' his ordnance (bombs), he ditched the aircraft, with the bombs still attached. That shortened his glide distance & time aloft. The suggestion being panic. Later, he was reportedly shot down in the Pacific, bailing out. The submarine "Finback" picked him up. Allegedly, his only official account was made by the Captain of the Finback, who wrote that Bush said his crew bailed out over the island of Chichijima - OR - after he was 'hit.' He didn't know where his crew was? that's nuts. Why would any aircraft commander bail out, not knowing where his crew was. No reason was given as to why they would have had an excuse to bail out over Chichijima.
