He was born into a family of Admirals.
During training, he ditched two planes, but was still allowed to pass. Normally one plane is enough to get dumped.
I was aware of those things. I was just curious what gallant action he undertook to get a DFC.
I once heard john Kerry got three purple hearts and never missed a days work. Not even one single day. I bet McCain cant top that unless he actually got the DFC for wrecking two jets.
