New Bush ad: Medal of Honor winners for Jeb
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Jeb Bush's presidential campaign is leveraging the former governor's hawkish foreign policy ideas to help him connect with voters. The campaign released a new ad on Thursday featuring Medal of Honor recipients explaining why they support Bush.
"This is no reality show, this is serious business," said James Livingston, a retired U.S. Marine Corps major general and medal of honor recipient, in the ad. "This is about the livelihood of our kids and grandkids."
"Jeb Bush will be a very inspirational commander-in-chief. He represents the beliefs of this country."

Bush has embraced discussion of his hawkish foreign policy positions often associated with his famous family, which he had previously approached much more gingerly.
