RIP, Sir. Whatever political disagreements we may have, and they’re plenty, I wish you well.
It’s May tomorrow.
Any ideas who might be a good candidate to replace McCain?
I’m sorry.
I have kids, and I would consent to be pieced out while alive for them.
Kids today are entering a different, different world than I did.

Return With Honor by George E. Day (Author)
Speaking of Mouthing Off, you take first prize! Everything I wrote, is available. Look them up for yourself!
You are wonderful
YOU are wonderful.
All daughters should have daddies that would die for them.
I think that’s the root of the current trouble.
May God bless and keep you.
That said McCain is a bigger traitor than Benedict Arnold.
Get used to it.
I mentioned TWO books in my other post.
I loathe McCain, but NOT for his time as a POW.
Fact: McCain graduated 790th out of 795 of his graduating class at Annapolis.
His Flying “Feats:”
Two Crashes, and ‘Daredevil Clowning’
First Crash, March 12, 1960: This took place while McCain, a young, unmarried officer not long out of the Naval Academy, was in advanced flight training at Corpus Christi, Texas. Timberg and McCain both give the cause as engine failure, but a Navy investigation blamed McCain’s inattention to altitude.
McCain, 1999 (pp155-156): I crashed a plane in Corpus Christi Bay one Saturday morning. The engine quit while I was practicing landings. … I barely managed to get the canopy open and swim to the surface. … I took a few painkillers and hit the sack to rest my aching back for a few hours. … I was out carousing, injured back and all, later that evening.
According to a Naval Aviation Safety Center report, obtained by the Los Angeles Times, investigators determined that the engine did not quit, and McCain was to blame:
Los Angeles Times, Oct. 6, 2008: Cockpit instruments that froze on impact showed the engine was still producing power. When water quenched the exhaust stack, it preserved a bright blue color, showing that the engine was still hot. And an aviator behind McCain reported that the engine was producing the black smoke characteristic of Skyraiders.
Investigators determined that McCain was watching instruments in his cockpit that indicated the position of his landing gear and had lost track of his altitude and speed.
The report concluded: “In the opinion of the board, the pilot’s preoccupation in the cockpit … coupled with the use of a power setting too low to maintain level flight in a turn were the primary causes of this accident.”
“Clowning” in Spain, about December 1961:
There were occasional setbacks in my efforts to round out my Navy profile. My reputation was certainly not enhanced when I knocked down some power lines while flying too low over southern Spain. My daredevil clowning had cut off electricity to a great many Spanish homes and created a small international incident.
The incident on the carrier where a missile from a plane behind McCain’s initiated and caused a fire that killed 134 sailors is in dispute. Some say McCain initiated a “wet start” on his plane that caused the missile to fire, others say he wasn’t the cause. No on disputes that he did the “wet start.”
Just a few FACTS about the worthless a$$hole that is John McCain
So what. One book was written by a Democrat operative and the other allegedly by Day.
Neither author was present when McCain was interrogated, and sold out his country.
I'll take Col Hackworth's version of event over the other two any day
McCain is a traitor.
” Neither author was present when McCain was interrogated, and sold out his country.

And Hackworth WAS in Hanoi? Hmmm”
Compared to Bud Day, Hackworth is a phony.
Keep beating the horse, it’d dead, and hopefully McCain will be with it shortly.
