re: #41 Anymouse

Yup. I don’t know all the details of Senator McCain’s capture and imprisonment in North Vietnam, but he threw that and all veterans’ honour under the bus by endorsing Mr. Trump.

One thing about Senator McCain I keep seeing from various liberal writers is a claim I wish would go away, because it is untrue. That claim amounts to John McCain (somehow) caused the USS Forrestal fire.

McCain did no such thing: It was caused by improper loading of Zuni rockets by hand by enlisted personnel, which caused one to misfire and strike a plane that was readying to take off. That pilot was killed in the explosion and fire, along with the Chief that attempted to knock down the fire and save his life with a PKP fire bottle.

Yeah I’d never go after him for that. I hated the way Kerry was treated and I don’t think it’s right for me especially as a non-veteran to attack what happened in his service. His time as a Senator yep we both agree is fair game.
