McCain's most horrendous loss occurred in 1967 on the USS Forrestal. Well,
not horrendous for him. The starter motor switch on the A4E Skyhawk allowed
fuel to pool in the engine. When the aircraft was wet-started, an impressive
flame would shoot from the tail. It was one of the ways young hot-shots got
their jollies. Investigators and survivors took the position that McCain
deliberately wet-started to harass the F4 pilot directly behind him. The cook
off launched an M34 Zuni rocket that tore through the Skyhawk's fuel tank,
released a thousand pound bomb, and ignited a fire that killed the pilot plus
167 men. Before the tally of dead and dying was complete, the son and
grandson of admirals had been transferred to the USS Oriskany. :^)

Instead of printing urban legends, why don't you do some homework so you
don't look so uninformed.

Cleveland is a cesspool not because of Dennis but because of our joke of a
mayor and corrupt city council. The mass exodus to the burbs has not helped
matters.

You are partly correct, it does have to do with the Mayor and others in
the council, but it is the job of Kookcinich to bring federal money back
to the city, and he's done absolutely nothing. Our highways were
outdated 30 years ago, our shoreline looks like something from the old
Soviet Union, and there aren't enough police to protect the citizens.
Hell, even Clinton got some new cops hired here when he was in office.

He should have been booted out of the USN. If this is true and I suspect
it is, he is unfit to be president.
