The Republican Penchant For Rewarding Screw Ups And Failures
JOHN McCAIN - THE MOST FLAWED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN HISTORY
"Had he not been the son and grandson of admirals, there is scant chance he would have been admitted to the U.S. Naval Academy. Given his behavior patterns and academics, had he not been the son and grandson of admirals, there is little doubt he would have been thrown out. Instead, in 1958 he managed to graduate 894 out of 899. Had he not been the son and grandson of admirals, he is no chance he would have been accepted into the prestigious naval flight training program over far better qualified officers. On his way to becoming a North Vietnamese ace, the aviator lost 3 expensive aircraft on routine, non-combat flights. Little was made of all that, because he was, you know, the son and grandson of admirals.
McCain’s most horrendous loss occurred in 1967 on the USS Forrestal. Well, not horrendous for him. The starter motor switch on the A4E Skyhawk allowed fuel to pool in the engine. When the aircraft was “wet-started,” an impressive flame would shoot from the tail. It was one of the ways young hot-shots got their jollies. Investigators and survivors took the position that McCain deliberately wet-started to harass the F4 pilot directly behind him. The cook off launched an M34 Zuni rocket that tore through the Skyhawk’s fuel tank, released a thousand pound bomb, and ignited a fire that killed the pilot plus 167 men. Before the tally of dead and dying was complete, the son and grandson of admirals had been transferred to the USS Oriskany."
Notice how his handlers absolutely insist that he be smothered in flags since his hilarious Lime Green Monster?

Keep up the good work here!! Lots of good stuff!
USS Forrestal Mishap July 29, 1967-Debunking political assassination attempt to slander McCain by saying an insinuating that McCain murdered his crewmen by deliberately causing this mishap.

So, anon, I went and took a look at your suggested YouTube video, and it has absolutely zero explanation of why that disaster happened.
I agree. I just thought the video itself was interesting. I found it after reading your post. Just thought I would share it.
Thank you for that, because I found that there seems to exist an effort to exonerate the guy for creating the disaster. I've been searching around, and aside from an effort by obviously partisan republicans trying to clear his name it's generally aknowleedged that McCain was responsible, which was why he was spirited immediately off the ship to the Oriskany.
My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find nearly all
of your post's to be just what I'm looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content to suit your needs?
I wouldn't mind producing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write about here. Again, awesome web site!
Look at my web site; workouts at home
