Thanks for mentioning the Forrestal. I have watched the flight deck video many times, the 1st time in boot camp. I never understood how it was possible for McCain to set that off given the position of the aircraft on the deck. I see people male this claim all the time, but without any detail of the event as it relates to the actual footage.
There are plenty of criticisms to levy at McCain, I’d avoid that one.
Other than those who say it was a cover-up for an Admiral's son, I've seen NO evidence he had anything to do with it. IIRC, it was an error by the Red Shirts (ordnance) or a mechanical failure in the missile arming system. However, McCain turned out to be a uni-party RINO a-hole.
Amongst other non-conservative votes, his last middle finger to us was the deciding vote on the repeal of Obamacare. Screw him and all his cross-aisle votes. Then there was the Keating 5, but why go on since his back-stabbing history is all over the threads of his death.
