I want to smell the rose-scented breeze and feel the sun on my shoulders. I want to watch the hawks hunt from the sycamore, and then take my leave bound for a place near my old friend Chuck Larson, in the cemetery on the Severn (River), back where it began,’ McCain wrote in his latest book.

The Naval Academy has confirmed that the Vietnam veteran has a dedicated plot at the cemetery that is ‘very close’ to Larson’s grave, according to AZCentral.

McCain describes the plot as ‘a beautiful spot near where our paths first crossed’.

McCain attended the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland from 1954 to 1958 where he was best friends with Larson.

Does Ace believe that fewer American patriots would piss on his grave at the Naval Academy than at Arlington?

Has the grave already been dug, or is he happy with any deep hole?

Lets put aside what a crappy, mean spirited, vindictive, selfish, corrupt, do nothing, turncoat Senator he is/was, for a moment.

Isn’t it widely known that he was a worse Naval Officer and Aviator? Who only achieved what he did, due to his family name, his predecessors and their actual accomplishments?

If there is a naval academy in Vietnam, that’s fine with me.

No tax money, friends of McQueeg can foot the bill.

Cremate him and bury him at sea. Just make sure that you flush enough for him to make it that far.

After all, McPain is one of the few “Aces” as he destroyed five of our aircraft.
