Yeah, he’d already “lost” three aircraft when he was shot down. I’d say that having him a POW saved the Navy a bunch more losses. He was known as a lousy pilot, but his relatives in high places kept him flying. McCain is not a patriot, and that has nothing to do with his military service. Being a POW doesn’t entitle one to be a worthless turd for the rest of your life.

Actually he lost 4 planes before he was shot down. One he was on deck and a missile accidentally went off and destroyed his plane.

Better yet he got 28 medals for 20 hours of combat time. That's one medal for each 42 minutes of action. that's the big lie in this story also.

Great Guy McCain. I think he divorced his crippled wife. Major player in the Keating 5 scandal. Married the beer sellers daughter. I think there are a bunch of vets that dislike him for keeping the POW and MIA info from surfacing. he referred to Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) as “wacko birds.” - See more at: http://www.teaparty.org/john-mccain-new-gop-guard-wacko-birds-21328/#sthash.Bv4ZZnwM.dpuf
