<p>You need to get your history straight! The USS Forrestal incident was in no way McCain crashing an aircraft. His jet was parked on deck, when a 2.75in high explosive rocket ignited and hit his aircraft (which was fueled and armed). The resulting fire and explosions (caused by bombs engulfed in the fire) killed over a hundred crew members. It was one of the worst, and most accurately recorded major mishaps aboard a carrier. </p>
<p>So how about trying to place the blame somewhere other than on the guy who’s aircraft got blown out from under him…</p>
