In September of 1944, 9 U.S pilots ejected out of their planes onto the Japanese island of Chichi Jima. 8 of them were captured, executed, and ritually cannibalized by Japanese soldiers. The sole survivor, George H.W Bush, landed far away from the island in the water, and was later rescued.

How did George H.W. Bush manage to lose the 1992 election after the success of Desert Storm?
Desert Storm is mostly forgotten at this point, but it really is one of the greatest triumphs in American history. The entire international community viewed Iraq's invasion of Kuwait as illegitimate, and the US built a multi-nation coalition to oust Saddam's forces. Everything followed international law: Iraq ignored multiple UN Security Council resolutions to leave Kuwait, and rejected peaceful solutions to the conflict.
And it wasn't obvious that victory would be so easy. People on both sides of the aisle opposed the invasion — Ted Kennedy and Patrick Buchanan, for example — and Kennedy predicted 3000 US casualties per week. Iraq had the 4th largest military in the world at that point, and it was very experienced after having fought a 10-year war against Iran. Nevertheless, when the coalition invaded, the fighting was over after about 100 hours, and around 100 US combatants were killed. There must've been widespread celebration.
When we look at historic approval ratings, it seems that Bush's was at about 85% when Desert Storm happened, but by 1992, it had fallen below 50%. What happened? Why wasn't Desert Storm a lasting political victory for Bush? Why did his approval fall so suddenly, and how did he wind up losing to Clinton in '92?

George H.W. Bush on ‘Political Correctness’ from 1991 — “It replaces old prejudices with new ones… What began as a crusade for civility, has soured into a cause of conflict, and even censorship…Throughout history, attempts to micromanage casual conversation, have only incited distrust.”

Why isn’t George H. W. Bush ranked higher by historians?
After finishing Meachum’s biography, I am shocked that 41 isn’t regarded higher.
He was a moderate force against the hard right who gracefully ushered through the fall of the Soviet empire, passed environmental legislation like the Clean Water Act, passed the ADA civil rights act, led a coalition of countries to protect Kuwait (and then got out), encouraged and supported the reunification of Germany, and raised taxes when it was needed to clean up the supply side effects of the Reagan years.
As a moderate democrat, I really like this guy. He’s what Jimmy Carter could have been. (Although Jimmy was a lot better than people remember. Read Jonathan Alter’s new bio).
