Pale Writer – Here’s a cut and paste job from another website you might like: Forrestal Johnny “The Songbird” is no hero or patriot \u2013 This post is from a US Navy Aviator who served with McCain: TRUE!! AND. . he LIED about it!! RESPECTFULLY, you NEED to have this conversation with some Naval Aviators and officers of that era!!! *I* am ONE of those and KNOW the \u201ctrue story\u201d of Admiral McCain\u2019s little thug son, John!
\nMcCain was a traitor and collaborator, while being held captive. He was given preferential treatment, due to the fact that his captors felt he was \u2018royalty\u2019, due to his family \u2018connections\u2019. They didn\u2019t understand why someone SO \u2018connected\u2019 was putting himself in \u2018harm\u2019s way\u2019. Different culture than ours.
\nHis \u201cshoot down\u201d was self-induced, as he DISOBEYED ORDERS and flew well below the \u2018floor\u2019, getting himself shot down. There were several other jets on that particular mission and HE was the only one shot down, because the others obeyed their orders!
\nHis ENTIRE life has been one of disrespect of orders and authority, believing himself bullet-proof, due to his \u2018family name\u2019 and his dad and grand dad being HIGH ranking Navy Admirals!
\nHis \u2018nickname\u2019 in his HS yearbook was \u201cPunk\u201d and he displayed that behavior as he went on to the USNA, where he robbed someone, more deserving, of a slot in his class, due to the \u2018influence\u2019 of his father.
\nHe SHOULD have been expelled, several times, but the folks at USNA did not want to go up against dad. He graduated FIFTH FROM THE BOTTOM in his class . . but STILL ended up going to Pensacola for flight training!@! His classmates who actually \u2018made the grade\u2019 were aghast when he showed up down there.
\nHis flight grades were well below acceptable and he should have been run out of there too . . he was an ABYSMAL aviator . . crashing on base leg at Corpus for carrier qualification training. . he had been out drinking the night before and FELL ASLEEP after turning base leg and \u2018configuring\u2019 for landing . . he crashed \u2018wings level\u2019 and straight ahead into Corpus Bay . . too bad for us he wasn\u2019t over land . . story would have ended there.
\nHe destroyed two other A\/C after arriving in the Fleet . . before being shot down.
\nHis nickname in Hanoi was \u201cSongbird\u201d. . due to the information he willingly gave his captors. . tactical stuff. .like \u2018routes, altitudes\u2019, etc., that our guys used to fly from the boat to their targets and he got several of my fellow aviators shot down and killed. He recorded 32+ propaganda bits (a la Tokyo Rose) to be played for our enlisted troops . . to undermine their moral.
\nThe bogus \u2018story\u2019 about not coming home early, when he could have, is just common sense. He KNEW he would have been \u2018court martialed\u2019 IF he had accepted any kind of early release, based upon his \u2018family connections\u2019.
\nAfter his release, his Navy \u2018flying career\u2019 SHOULD have been over, based upon his permanent injuries, but, his dad intimidated a flight surgeon and he wrongly got back his flight medical status, when ANYONE else would NOT have \u2018passed\u2019 with his \u2018condition\u2019. He was \u2018awarded\u2019 the position of XO at the Navy\u2019s largest training squadron, VA-174 at NAS Cecil and when the CO moved on, he was \u2018selected\u2019, over MANY more qualified officers, to become CO. .he used his position as XO and CO to take young (junior) female pilots on X-Country flights and screwed their brains out
\n.
\nI was in the Reserves, flying around the country at that time and it WAS the talk of the flight line !! EVERYONE knew what he was doing . . THAT is ILLEGAL in the military and he SHOULD have been convicted at Court Martial for \u2018fraternization\u2019 . .INSTEAD . .daddy got him moved out of the squadron and put in charge of the Navy\u2019s \u201cLiaison\u201d in DC . . along with a VERY early promotion to Captain . . the rest, as they say, is history.
\nJohn McCain IS a scum bag . . a DISGRACE to the uniform we wore and his spots did not change when he became a politician!
\nDo a GOOGLE . . there is a LOT more stuff out there. .BUT, this snippet, below, is REALLY DAMNING . . there are some \u2018heavy hitter\u2019, respected politicians and leaders on there, calling McCain the treasonous SCUM he IS!!<\/p>\n
