I was speaking to his character.  The son of Prescott Bush might have avoided combat duty.

Lot's of people with worldly success and cushy lives volunteered, among them Indiana PA's own Jimmy Stewart.  And that actor fellow, Reagan, who went where he was assigned, even if it was not a combat post.  Like SSF, I see this as a disappearing norm.
