Sarcasm aside, Bush is already serving...as commander-in-chief.
Secondly, even if he weren't, he would be far down the list, being 58.
Eligible, but far down the list.
As to this case, I can understand what the Army is doing in the short term by these stop gap measures, but I think that the ultimate solution still lies in repositioning our troops in Europe.
The coldwar is over and is not likely to start again. So let Europe suck on someone elses teat for awhile.
