I stand corrected on the details. McCain's aircraft was next to the one that was hit. He got out, and tried to rescue the pilot of the stricken A-4.

It still reinforces the safety rule of "watch where the rockets are pointing". The same applies to Army helicopters, and is constantly pounded into heads.

No problem, I hope you do know I wasn’t yelling at you since my post was before yours? :^)

It’s these VVAW liars that make my blood boil. This kind of smear isn’t near any borderline of uncertainty, it’s patently absurd and contradicted by extensive video, photo, and witness evidence. There is no grey area at all for these scumbags to try to make their ‘charges’ — they are like the 9/11 nutters. Probably some of the same people.....
