IS BUSH JR. THE FIRST

IS BUSH JR. THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO APPEAR IN UNIFORM?

The question seems to depend on whether one considers a flight suit a uniform... most pilots I know would. But regardless it's certainly far more of a uniform than a green nylon bomber jacket and a carrier hat, which is the worst transgression found so far from the Clinton years. I mean, seriously, what did you expect the guy to wear on a naval vessel? A three piece suit and a bowler? Civilians I've taken on tours of military installations are regularly given baseball caps and the like. But that's certainly no uniform I could ever wear and have recognized as such. Try again, Mr. "Poor and Stupid."
