“McCain wants”....the two most ignored words in the political lexicon.

In the first picture, I couldn’t quite make out the numbers on the aircraft carrier. It was blurry, but the second picture someone posted, it’s very clear, number 59!! We can’t say for sure he had any part in launching that rocket, but knowing his history since then, it’s a good bet he snuck in the cockpit and launched that rocket!!

I just Googled it and this came up.

I like to keep the good ones, so I looked it up for that, and thought others might be inclined to do so as well.

Thanks for presenting it. I don’t think I’ve seen this one before.

Thanks for the comments.

I’ve always highly suspected McCain with regard to the Forrestal, but here’s a report that rejects my inclination.

I don’t think there are many people who think McCain is as vile as I do, but in the interest of accuracy, I’ll link you to this.

If others have something that contradicts this, or even adds to it, I’d like to see it.

Someone needs to take this near Ace to a room with an updated Stratego game or an old Avalon Hill game and let him and Linda have at it to keep these two warmongers occupied and out of trouble.

Yes, I knew he had no part in it either. I just wanted to have a little fun along with that cartoon. Knowing how McCain is, we could see him jumping the gun in his plane and launching a rocket even before he took off from the flight deck and going whoops!

Mr Juan surely does enjoy the thought of young American personnel dying in numbers, along with the immense financial burden.

Thanks for voting, Arizona.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on Tuesday called for the Trump administration to launch a new U.S. military deterrence initiative in the Asia-Pacific region, similar to what is already being done in Europe, as a counterweight to China.

Haven't we already been doing this since the end of World War II?

My assessment of McCain along those lines goes something like this.

His first lost aircraft was flown into the drink, by him. He complained about engine problems. They hauled the aircraft out and the mechanic tested the engine. Once prepped, it started right up with no problems.

One of his next two losses, found him trying to hot dog it including flying too low. He evidently hit some wires and down he went.

It’s a wonder he lived to see actual flight duty.

If his initial instructor had had his way, he wouldn’t have.

He was just not interested in applying himself and playing by the rules.

The story continues that he didn’t have to make all his flight landings to pass his flight certification. His instructor was miffed.

He was the same way in college. He was very irresponsible.

His pappy was high up on the Navy, and John couldn’t be booted.

I don’t know if his shoot-down was because he just didn’t play by the rules as of that time. Then again, perhaps he did and I’m off base with that.

What I do know is that John was a screw-up before and after his Navy days. That causes me to wonder what we don’t know about his military service.

John may have acted heroically too. Some reports seem to indicate that. With him, I’m always waiting for the Paul Harvey report..., the rest of the story.
