And what about young men who have little ability getting commissioned in the Navy because their fathers and grandfathers were admirals? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
Exactly!
McCain got an appointment to Annapolis because both his father and grandfather were admirals in the Navy. Then McCain graduated fifth from the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy.
He had a reputation of being a womanizer and a not-so-good pilot.
He disobeyed orders and flew below the ceiling, which is why he was shot down. The other men in his squadron obeyed orders and were not shot down.
Some of the other POWs made the claim that McCain gave vital information to the enemy which enabled the North Vietnamese to shoot down many additional American planes. If true, that is quite damning.
His “war hero” status is largely a myth.
Daddy and Gramps got a ship named for them but John McCain III knows he's not leaving behind a very honorable legacy. Songbird and Obama pimp won't look good in the history books.
