We have all heard the stories about Senator John McCain’s exemplary military service. We have all been treated to the endless references to his wounds from the war that were inflicted through his agonizing years of torture at the hands of the North Vietnamese.
We are all, by now, through one term as a US Representative, five terms as a US Senator (and counting), and three presidential primary runs where he was expected in the early going in 1999 to be able to defeat Al Gore, familiar with his excellence in service to America. Of course, in that race, he ultimately bowed to the superiority of the Bush family when George W. came on the scene to wrap up the primary race in a big way and ultimately embarrass the senator with a win of 47 states.
McCain tried again in 2004 to a worse jumping-off point, but rebounded in 2008, winning the primary, only to be completely consumed by the massive and corrupt political activist machine powered by the cult of personality that was Barack Obama. You could almost call John McCain the slightly less feminine version of Hillary Clinton.
This is not to mention all the completely fawning press coverage that he has enjoyed over the decades since his return from captivity in 1973 (with the notable exception of his run against the hallowed personage of Obama…even the press is not going to cut their throats that deeply for a dirty Republican).
We now know that all of the lies that were told about his captivity were the first chapter in a mythology for the purposes of a long and lucrative political career. We know about how he and John Kerry paired to bury information about POW/MIA personnel to hide their own shameful past in the “prisons” of Indochina.
Allegations have been made by many that the hellish inferno aboard the USS Forrestal in 1967 that caused 134 sailors and airmen to lose their lives…all due to a PRANK by then airmen John McCain!
First off…. I can’t stand McCain !
However, this is a F**E News story on the Internet and does a tremendous disservice to those who bravely fought the fires and explosions on board the Forrestal that day and gave their lives. The factual account and video are easily accessible to those, not to lazy to investigate on their own.
The men involved know the truth.
John mccain must be rally ptoud of killing these men, causing extensive damage to the carrier, wounding hundreds and then goes and watched T.V. great hero
Yes, I saw the footage, he’s guilty
Thank about it all the brass he had in the service he couldn’t lose regardless what he done, there was a good example.
Trying to be a smart$#%&!@* and causing nothing but deaths.
Just open the sealed files .
Whaat how did this get out!
Well documented!!!
It is not an accusation. It is a historical fact.
