I don't know anything about the truth regarding Sen John McCain, but it might be of interest to some a true story I experienced off the coast of Vietnam. I won't mention which ship I was on but we had just left Vietnam waters heading back to the states when we got a call from the captain saying we had to return to Vietnam waters to render assistance to the U.S.S. Forrestal because it was on fire. Upon returning, we heard that a maverick radio signal had caused a missle to go off, it had hit the wing of another plane, and the planes bombs dropped onto the flight deck and gone off. That caused further explosions. Well, the height of the story is this. I heard many years later, and I have no proof of this, but heard that Senator John McCain was the pilot of that particular aircraft.
I also think it is a little bit strange, but still conceivable, that Sen McCain seems to have no ill effects from his time in captivity, where someone as a prisoner of war that long would likely bear scars on his body, or at the least, look older than his time from the time as a prisoner. Once again though, that is not NECESSARILY true.

I would never say anything negative about John McCain about his service in the military. But he totally sucks as a politician. He was a moderate when he ran for President. Since then he seems to be leaning left much of the time. He hurts America as a politician.
