So, he admits he is less than stellar in some respects, but he still thinks he should be moved to the top?

And that is what jet fighter pilots need to be- the top. They have far more people that want to be pilots than positions available, so they can choose only the best.

Occasionally some doofus makes it and crashes their plane (like McCain) or sets an aircraft carrier on fire (like McCain) or gets 127 men killed (like McCain).

Does he think we need an ‘affirmative action’ program for jet pilots?

I'm SURE that, just because McCain's Father and Grandfather were both Admirals, and that Lt. McCain was a schoolmate, from Annapolis High, the flight school selection board would NEVER wink at a less than 4.0 performance from McCain the Third.

Even in the middle of an unpopular war...
