I was wondering if someone was going to post about this considering recent news.
Yep, I really think “Wet Start Johnny” McCain did indeed start this catastrophic disaster.
I knew a former Navy Chief who did too, sadly he’s now gone as I’d love to hear his thoughts on McCain’s latest. He hated McCain with a burning passion and used the most colorful terminology which was once reserved for errant seamen in describing him.
Whether he caused the Forrestal fire or not, his record as a piss-poor pilot and equally execrable politician speak for themselves.
Please explain why you call him “Wetstart” and how that relates to the Forrestal fire. Just so we can get the conversation going.
