Bush "Envious" Of Soldiers Serving "Romantic" Mission In Afghanistan
"I must say, I'm a little envious," Bush said. "If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed."

"It must be exciting for you...in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You're really making history, and thanks," Bush said.

The soldiers' impulses to frag him must have been tremendous.
