“Pilots are still supposed to look out for their squadron mates.”
McCain was trying to aid a pilot who was on fire when a bomb that was cooking in the jet fuel fire exploded. This was less than two minutes from when the Zuni rocket set the whole disaster in motion. Two other bombs when off 10 seconds later. A fourth went off a few seconds after that. There’s plenty to fault McCain for, the Forrestal fire isn’t part of it.
Where in my statement did I fault mclame for the fire?
