I dislike McCain for a myriad of reasons, but the insistence that he had anything to do with the Forrestal Tragedy is not based on facts.

I have heard it said that there are none so blind as those who will not see. This would be you. I'm sure you believe what you wrote but it is unequivocally false. Here's a clue: Bombs.

He was inept his whole life and karma finally caught up with him, damn his soul to hell, for all the evil things he did in his life.

And a pox on all the Arizona voters who kept voting him into office.

I thought the going Theory was him Wet Starting the Engine of his A4 when he was lined up for Takeoff to “spook” the guys behind him in the F4 Phantom.

That Theory was shot down, so to speak. He was sitting in his Aircraft with its ass end facing the Ocean when all hell broke loose.

The Theory that McCain released his two 1000 Pound Bombs by Accident was never brought up in the Investigation. They concluded that a Bomb detached from the Plane next to McCain that was hit by the Rocket. That Pilot died and McCain barely got about alive. He was hit by Shrapnel in the Leg from the Bombs cooking off.

Of course, he lost another couple of Planes probably because he was a Hotshot “Maverick”. Those Investigations never blamed him, but the Engine Flame Outs he experienced that ended up with the loss of those Planes were never really explained.

It should be noted that when his Plane was hit in Vietnam, he managed to drop his Bomb Load on Target before he Bailed out and was Captured.

This Thread might end up being as popular as the Natural Born Citizen Threads that gets everyone here riled up.

People believe what they believe. Makes no difference, McCain is gone for good. Let’s hope no other McCain’s decide to get into Politics.
