Of course, it's not the death and destruction that bothers Bush the Elder, it's the mean criticism! When Bush I did a speech in which he voiced total support of Bush II, the speechwriter says, he was sending a message:
"I think he understood he was going to have a national audience, and I think he wanted to send an unmistakable signal . . . I think he wanted to say none of that malarkey matters. I just want to support my son."
The war, the deaths, the faltering economy, and a overwhelmingly dissatisfied nation. Or as George H.W. Bush thinks of it, "malarkey."
