"The man was a fighter pilot. Idiots don't become fighter pilots." Idiots who are the sons and grandsons of four star admirals get to get into Annapolis, despite crummy grades, get to become naval aviators, despite crummy flying skills and being at the bottom of their class. They're called legacies. We just had a legacy as president. We really can't take another.

The man was a fighter pilot. Idiots don't become fighter pilots. The issue isn't whether he's smart or dumb although it might be. Rather, the issue is that he's a fukk up. Plus, he wasn't learning what he was suppose to be learning so there are gaps in his knowledge. How do you know those gaps didn't cause his crashes? How do you know the gaffes he makes aren't due to his not using his mind actively when he was younger or not being disciplined when using his mind? We've already had one school fukk up in the WH; this country doesn't need a second one.
