Yes, but the Army didn’t instill it’s morals into John McCain, teach him how to become a reverse ace, or set up the American public to have to deal with his caustic presence for an entire lifetime.
I say this with a certain amount of jest, in that the NAVY was dealing with a family issue that prevented it from treating John like they would have anyone else.
These sorts of things can happen to the best of institutions.
John McCain, hero? Then, but not now. He should be court martialed for his current behavior. What an A’hole!
