To be fair, McCain was the recipient of a missile...he was just sitting in his plane.
There are plenty of things to blame on McCain, but this really isn’t one of them.

It was not McCain's fault but if he didn't go around with a cloud of fail perpetually surrounding him this urban myth wouldn't have the legs it does.

To be fair, McCain was the recipient of a missile...he was just sitting in his plane.That is one of the reasons some of McCain's shipmates point the finger at McCain.
They say McCain "wet started" his jet. As I understand it, that is when you flood your engines with fuel and then start it which sends out a plume of flames.
Apparently this was not a totally uncommon practice.
I understand the incident was investigated by the Navy and McCain was absolved of all charges but he was still transferred to another ship afterwards.
Perhaps that was a common practice, too. I don't know. I do know that McCain's father was some Navy hotshot at the time.
Not that that should arouse suspicion or anthing.
