While McCain can be blamed for many things, starting the Forrestal fire isn’t one of them.

And he’s a North Vietnam fighter ace!

He reportedly "lost" or crashed 4 planes; two due to his clowning around. A decent article on the crashes. I see his behavior as a pilot mirrors that of the politician he is today - reckless, probably to his spoiled, blue blood upbringing::

I think they found missing records of another plane he crashed during the Viet Nam war and he now has a total of 5 U.S. planes destroyed making him the 1st and only Vietnamese Ace.

If McCain was a REAL Republican (and not a ‘reach across the aisle’ kind) the entire country would know about the ‘wet-start’ that killed 134 people and almost sunk an aircraft carrier

Is that the same mission he was captured on?
