14. It does take courage to be a fighter pilot...
but it doesn't take "balls", just ask the female pilots in Iraq about that. They show more courage than bush could EVER muster!

There is also a huge difference between bush being a fighter pilot, and John McCain, or Adm Stockdale being fighter pilots. There is not much to worry about when you fly obsolete F-102's over the Gulf of Mexico; but 7 years in the Hanoi Hilton, under torture, shows me more courage than what bush did. Adm Stockdale received the MOH for his resistance to the NVA's attempts to break him under torture. THAT takes 'balls'!
