Real Bush don't cry
On July 3 of 1988, Iran Air’s Flight 655, on a regularly scheduled flight from Bandar Abbas to Dubai, was shot down over the Persian Gulf by trigger-happy gunners on the Vincennes. The 290 people aboard died.
Did President George Herbert Walker Bush cry? Certainly not. “I will never apologize for the United States of America,” he said. “I don’t care what the facts are.”
So Lieutenant Commander Scott Lustig, anti-air warfare officer of the Vincennes, was awarded two Navy commendation medals for his service on the cruiser. And its commander, Captain Will C. Rogers III, got the Legion of Merit for “exceptionally meritorious conduct during the period of his command.”
Facts being what they are, however, the United States was obliged by the courts to pay $300,000 for each wage earner killed by the meritorious captain, and $150,000 for each non-wage-earner (this included the 57 children aboard). And the Iranians got another $40 million dollars from the U.S. taxpayer for loss of their plane.
