Perhaps McCain was just unlucky. Seem to recall an incident on the deck of the USS Forrestal with McCain in the cockpit when a missile on his fighter accidentally lit off and caused heavy casualties and damage. If my recollection is in error I will gladly be corrected.

Actually, the rocket came from an F-4, not McCain’s A-4.

The missile was fired from the jet behind McCain and hit McCain’s jet. I believe America would have been better off if he hadn’t survived. He has done a lot of damage to this country. And when a side has to be taken, McCain always sides against the vets. He sided with Kerry AGAINST the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth.

Nope. You are correct in that event.

Correct in general. The particular was a rocket/missile for/from another plane struck his.
