I can conclude that his memory of events had no bearing on his culpability in those events. The investigators also said that the zuni missile hit McCain's A-4.
I dont think you or I will ever know what the Navy investigators found because CNO Admiral Moorer was a personal friend of Jack McCain ...
In that one statement you're smearing Adm. Moorer, Adm. McCain and Adm. Massey. I'm sure they were all in on a coverup of the worst disaster in modern Naval history in order to cover up for one Admiral's son. And Dick Cheney planted explosives in the WTC buildings.
I can see you never sat in on a military aircraft loss accident investigation board
The A4 Skyhawk association (among other sources) memorializes Fred White as the pilot whose aircraft was hit by the Zuni. I would suppose they are privy to the facts.
Why would McCain need to claim this for himself and not even mention LCDR White? I can only think of two reasons, neither honorable
