Hey there,, I am a GD:P rat but wanted to post this info about McCain that came up in another thread

[Johnny__Motown]

The discussion was about going after McCain's war record (not exactly a primary topic but GD: P is lawless). Someone suggested that he was not a capable pilot and only got promoted because his father was an admiral.

So, that lead to the USS Forrestal disaster...


Here is the thread I was talking about

1. I posted a couple weeks ago that I had read a story that claimed his superiors were relieved when he

was captured, because, during the course of his career he destroyed 5 US planes.

2. I don't suppose you have a link to that? I never heard stuff like that (not that I am a fan)

3. This is not the article I read but is a link to another one that covers his military career

4. Do you have a source without Osama/Obama T-Shirts on sale or Barrack Hussain Obama Jr son of a Luo

Tribsman photo chops on it?


Something that might pass for a source that is not a pure puke site???


Sorry, I can't read that.. I lasted about 15 seconds and had to close it up.

5. I don't pay attention to ads. But you can google

John McCain's military career and you should find multiple links.
