Hey McStain hot shotted any missiles off a carrier deck lately?

The 1967 USS Forrestal fire was a devastating fire and series of chain-reaction explosions on 29 July 1967 that killed 134 sailors and injured 161 on the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal (CVA-59), after an unusual electrical anomaly discharged a Zuni rocket on the flight deck. Forrestal was engaged in combat operations in the Gulf of Tonkin during the Vietnam War at the time, and the damage exceeded US$72 million (equivalent to $496 million today) not including damage to aircraft.[2][3] Future United States Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona was among the survivors.

I heard it was your plane the rocket launched from McStain.
Daddy had to do some fast talking to get you out of that one right? Did you really sell out your fellow POW’s at the Hanoi Hilton?

Besides any more dreamers rape any one today?

Just one of several airplanes he crashed. He didn’t have the brains or temperament to fuel an airplane much less pilot one. FUJM!
