Nope, Bush didn't visit the jungle paradise. He did get through UPT and got his wings. You can't fake UPT; he qualified or he wouldn't have graduated. You have to fly those jets solo sooner or later.
BTW, before you make the point that "at least Gore went to Vietnam", realize that not everyone in the service in those years "went". I know Green Berets that never went; they spent the whole decade in Germany because that was their assignment.
You went where you were told to go.
Both of these brave young lads got VERY preferential treatment through the kind offices of their politician daddies. While Al's Dad kept him safe behind a typewriter, he still got sent to that paradise while George had to "fight" the war as a weekend-warrior in the F-102, defending an O-Club in Texas. George's Dad did a better job, IMHO.
Sparks, there's an old, old TV comedy here called "Mayberry RFD". It featured Andy Griffith as the Sheriff ("Andy") of a small town and Don Knotts as his Deputy ("Barney". Andy would let Barney carry a revolver but he wouldn't let him have any bullets. This was due primarily to Barney's total incompetence and lack of common sense.

Igloo,
I don't know how "rich folk" act in canada, but down here in the misguided states, the sons of extremely rich people very often never have a "real job". You could say the same thing about dear old Al. The son of extremely rich politician parents,all he's ever been is a lackluster politician.
Want to look up something interesting? Go looking for information on how much of Occidental Petroleum the Gore family owned. Then listen to Al slam Georgie for being "big oil". LOL!
They're ALL alike!
