Political "Swift Boat" tactics.

The Zuni rocket was fired from an F-4 as the result of an electrical short. Zuni rockets were notoriously unsafe. The carrier Enterprise also had a similar Zuni related accident.


And I quote: "On January 14, 1969, the USS Enterprise, steaming 75 miles southwest of Pearl Harbor, suffered a major fire. In that episode, similar unstable 1000-pound bombs detonated, killing 27 sailors and injuring more than 100. At the time of the Enterprise disaster, the Commander-in- Chief of US Pacific Forces was Adm. John S. McCain, Jr.,Sen. McCain’s father. At the time of the Forrestal disaster, Admiral McCain was Commander-in-Chief of US Naval Forces Europe (CINCUSNAVEUR) and was busy covering up the details of the deadly and pre-meditated Israeli attack on the NSA spy ship, the USS Liberty, on June 8, 1967. The fact that both McCains were involved in two incidents just weeks apart that resulted in a total death count of 168 on the Forrestal and the Liberty, with an additional injury count of 234 on both ships (with a number of them later dying from their wounds) with an accompanying classified paper trail inside the Pentagon, may be all that was needed to hold a Sword of Damocles over the head of the ‘family honor’-oriented (McCain’s persona is supported by his book about his father and grandfather, both Navy admirals, titled ‘Faith of My Fathers’) and the ’straight talking’ McCain."

The McCain's did more damage to our military than the Vietcong did in 2 years--and all we call this Manchurian Candidate is "Reverse Ace McCain"?
