There are few Naval Officers, and few politicians I have come to despise more than the execrable John McCain. And I served under him.

I have a neighbor who knew him breifly.

Said the son of a bitch should have been court martialed and kicked out of the military. The only reason he wasnt was because his family had Admirals in it.

It must have been after his POW years, maybe in Jacksonville?

I noted that the Dept of the Navy gave him a command that was not an operational one, and I suspected it was because he couldn’t be trusted due either to incompetence or his collaboration with the NVA while a prisoner.

Your own district was well placed.

He was on my “list of people I absolutely must outlive.”

This, I have accomplished.

"And I served under him."

Was that before or after he decided to blow up his own aircraft carrier?
