I am curious though, Radix.
Which part of a diagram or report do you think was falsified that if truthful, would have incriminated McCain? (And in what manner do you think it was falsified?)
By the way, we do have a member on Free Republic who sees these threads (though he doesn’t jump in them often that I have seen) who was on the USS Forrestal that day. I can imagine he has his reasons for not jumping in, and I am not going to name him unless he has something to say. He knows more of the truth than any of us do, but suffice to say he doesn’t feel there was a coverup, and he feels it quite strongly.
OK, we all operate and draw conclusions based on information provided by somebody somewhere.
Behold the man and consider his more recent behavior. Is he a leopard with new spots?
He is not our friend. He is just some guy with a story embraced by many, rebuked by some.
The notion that every negative point reported about the 50 years ago McCain is a lie is probably of the same stuff that a lot of History is made of.
I think that he is slime and have thought so for many years.
You want to defend this guy and accept the ‘official’ reports that got the almost renegade son of an Admiral out of a serious fix, then you are entitled.
