Former U.S. President George W. Bush once said of quitting golf during the war in Iraq: “I didn’t want some mom whose son may have died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf. I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best I can. And I think playing golf during a war sends the wrong signal.”
