Understand, but as a USNA grad myself, I don’t mind taking that shot at McCain. He even admits his poor performance in his autobiography.
A friend of mine, a decorated WWII combat pilot, like to refer to McCain as a “reverse ace” based upon how many planes he lost during the course of his career. My friend had the creds to say that, I certainly don’t !
I guess you are allowed to. I know that there are “idiots” enough to go around. But the balls to land on a carrier are not handed out to everyone.
