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.

McCain attended the Naval Academy from 1954 to 1958, pictured in his final year

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?

Annapolis is closer for me to “pay my respects”.

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?

I didn’t know they had a naval academy in Hanoi.

Sorry bad joke.

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

A fitting epitaph for McCain would be “publicity hound to the end”.

I don’t like the guy but enough is enough making the comments about shitting on his grave only makes those making the comments look juvenile and bad... lets at least have respect for ourselves and not make theses types of comments....

Possibly McCain recognized the .. irony ... and perhaps some resistance to ... an Arlington burial
He will still rest among real heroes

Wherever he wants, because he won’t be staying there. There are fires that don’t consume in his immediate future.

Besides, he’s dying anyway.

He was a slouch then and laying down is appropriate for him.
