Hey McCain-Deranged idiot, McCain could have stayed with his grounded Airwing off the Forrestal, but instead he joined VA-163, an aggressive A-4 Squadron that lost a third of its pilots over North Vietnam in 1967.
Hey McCain-Deranged idiot, McCain could have stayed with his grounded Airwing off the Forrestal, but instead he joined VA-163, an aggressive A-4 Squadron that lost a third of its pilots over North Vietnam in 1967. When McCain ran against G.W. Bush, I was inclined to believe that the attacks against him were unfair smears. The more I read, the more I realized McCain was an entitled POS:
"Here are the facts as we know them: According to [USAF] Colonel Ted Guy, John McCain’s commander as a POW, McCain collaborated with the enemy. McCain is accused of giving information that led to the downing of 60 US aircraft McCain is accused of training North Vietnamese air defense personnel McCain is accused of making over 30 propaganda broadcasts against the US, broadcasts he moved to have classified when he was elected to the Senate"
The real John McCain. "33 POWs faced execution for treason after Vietnam until Nixon pardoned all POWs. McCain was #1 on the list" John McCain: North Vietnamese Radio - Propaganda Broadcast - 1969 Taking him at his word from that broadcast, McCain's injuries came from his ejection from his plane. That would be explained by him always being undisciplined and not bailing out of his aircraft properly. He probably traded intelligence for medical attention. He wasn't tortured because he cooperated with his captors. His CO in the POW camp wanted him prosecuted. Being an Air Force guy, he didn't much care about who McCain's father and grandfather were, which is as it should have been. Nixon pardoned McCain.
