Funny thing guys... this is a Photoshop picture! It was taken in 1993 at the DMZ on the DPRK-ROK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea (aka North Korea)-Republic of Korea (aka South Korea)) border. The guy holding the glasses is actually... get ready for it... BILL CLINTON! As for uniform, the president can wear whatever one he wants as COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES. Bill Clinton wore the older style desert fatigues when he presented medals to servicemen who participated in Desert Storm. No one seemed to mind. If we want to get anal about it, President Bush HAD to wear the flight suit when he flew the Hoover (S-3 Viking) to the carrier. Just as I had to wear one the one time I flew in the back seat of an F/A-18D. President Bush wore a business suit when he addressed the crew later. |

No, he hasn't. Wearing a jacket is not wearing a uniform, any more than just wearing a baseball cap with a naval vessel's insignia. The famous picture of Clinton (now Bush) wearing that olive drab jacket is no big deal. It was done because of snipers. A North Korean sniper would see someone at that post wearing a business suit and figure out, "Hey, this guy's important!" Bang. All done. As for saying "and bush has worn other uniforms before for photo ops... Army, marine...." you really should research before you make a blanket statement. |

Come on Bill, what you say is not true and beyond trivial. http://www.snopes.com/photos/binoculars.asp |

Thanks. I didn't think Bush was near the front lines, but my mind might have been drawing a blank. Go figure :rolleyes: |

^^^ Well, I'm not trying to bust Bill or anything, I just think this is a totally trivial matter. |
