In 1966, George W. Bush (Josh Brolin) endures an alcohol-fueled initiation by his fellow Yale University students as a Delta Kappa Epsilon pledge. During the hazing, Bush successfully recalls the names and nicknames of many of the fraternity members, and states that his family's political legacy is one in which he has no interest. A little later, after the younger Bush is jailed in New Jersey for rowdiness following a football game, his father, George H. W. Bush (James Cromwell), states that he will help the younger Bush, but for the last time. Following his graduation from Yale, Bush takes a job at an oil patch back in his home state of Texas, but he quits after only a few weeks. Shortly after this, and proposing to his girlfriend while drunk, "Junior" reveals his real aspirations in a father-son talk: working in professional baseball, in some capacity. Soon after, Bush is accepted into Harvard Business School with the help of his father. Later that night after drinking heavily, the younger Bush crashes his car into his family estate and challenges his father to a fistfight. His brother, Jeb (Jason Ritter) intervenes and reveals that Bush got into Harvard Business which stops anything happening.

Genres: Short, War,Thank god we've got heroes like you
who bravely stride forward when duty calls
Just slow enough that people can still whisper in your ear
And if compassion means biting your lip
And posing for the cameras
Then bravo! Well done
Skull and bones.
