Just to be clear, the Forrestal fire started when a Rocket on an F-4 Phantom launched while on Deck and it hit McCain’s A-4 Skyhawk.
McCain was sitting in the Jet at the time. He could have easily been killed himself.
One other thing about McCain.
While he defended the United States by piloting a Plane, he seems to have an issue defending the United States by building a Fence.
When McCain went down in Viet Nam supposedly his wing commander said thank God it was him as we don’t have that many planes left. He had already crashed 3 or 4 other jets. I guess the wing commander got in big trouble with the Admiral for it and I guess they hushed it up. McCain was a total screw up. He got shot down because he went off course and took a short cut on the flight back home.
When MCain came home I think they buried him as commander of the helicopter base in Pensacola till he mustered out.
Then McCain went to the Senate and got caught up in the Keating Five. Thirty plus years of betraying his own party time and again.
So Trumps remarks while probably uneccesary are not sacreligious.
