Maybe that's why McCain had high office aspirations. He was an American Ace. He destroyed 6 American aircraft all by himself and then .....? Anchors Aweigh my boys, anchors aweigh!

I wonder what would have happened to a Lieutenant Smith if Lieutenant Smith’s PT boat was rammed while the boat was dead in the water and a crewman was killed.

“he was the only PT boat skipper to get run over by an enemy ship.”
And for that he should have been court marshaled, better yet keel-hauled. How does a high speed PT boat get cut in half by a Japanese cruiser?
Maybe JFK was passed out drunk?

Kennedys - Can’t Drive, Can’t Fly, Can’t Ski, Can’t Skipper a Boat.....but they know what’s best for us.
