   DS>Some of it is on audio/video.  E.g. the way he denigrated Senator McCain   
   DS>for being captured as a POW.   
      
      
   Lets do a little fact check here;   
      
      
   McCain was a screwup who wouldn't have even gotten past his first mishap had   
   it not been for the fact he was an admiral's relative!   
      
      
   His first fuck-up involved slamming an AD-6 Skyraider into Corpus Christi bay   
   due to his neglegence. He `claimed'; "The engine quit while I was practicing   
   landings". (His words)   
      
      
   The Naval investigation board that looked into the `accident' found no   
   evidence of `engine failure'!   
      
      
   Their finding: He was using a power setting too low to maintain level flight   
   in a turn.   
      
      
   In 1961 he was a pilot aboard the aircraft Carrier `Intrepid' off Spain when   
   he `clowned around' with a Skyraider over Spain and flew into some electrical   
   wires, causing a blackout   
      
      
   Another time, in 1965, he crashed a T-2 trainer jet in Virginia.   
      
      
   He had a jet destroyed on the dack of an Aircraft Carrier in 1967 in Vietnam,   
   and three months after that was shot down over Hanoi!   
      
      
   The first `incident was a wake-up call.....the second was a two-engine fire   
   alarm blasting loudly for this jerk to be yanked off the flight roster and   
   re-assigned to a post far away from aircraft.   
      
      
   Any ordinary Navy pilot would have probably been sidelined after the second   
   incident (if not the very first).   
      
      
   Being both the son AND grandson of Navy admirals probably had a lot to do with   
   him continuing to fly in the Navy. He shouldn't have been flying at all when   
   he was shot down.   
      
      
   Tagline;   
      
      
   Street sign near leftie/BLM riot-protest: "Don't Brake for   
   communist/leftists!"   
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
   The way he  treated the gold star man,   
   DS>Kahn.  Some of the other statements had already been published.  It is   
   DS>the way that they hit when put all together that is telling about his   
   DS>attitude.
