Apparently shrimp doesn't realize that the Forrestal incident is rather well documented by folks who were actually there as well as including film. Then again that's not surprising given the misconception that a lackluster academic classroom performance equates to battlefield action performance.

Hangtime, you've been blinded with propaganda and fear.  I'm also a Republican.  I have no reason to spread lies.  Unlike you guys, I'm not afraid of either candidate.

McCain should be respected for fighting in Vietnam.  However, I think he was a fairly poor pilot. He graduated third from the bottom of his class, failed a major exam, and lost 5 airplanes.  His father was an Admiral, and you can be pretty sure that had some effect on his career.  Also, due to a fire caused by McCains plane, he nearly sunk the U.S.S. Forrestal.

Lies.

Both of 'em. From your keyboard.

Aquashrimp, go ahead and read the Forrestal reports and then go ahead and retract your BS statement.

Otherwise, you're just another tool of the Obamessiah spew machine.

Fair is fair and observable fact is what it is too.  If any of this drivel had basis on either I would have no fault with you.  That clearly is not the case.  It is sad that neither of you have enough self respect to put honesty ahead of your desperation for attention.  If you are looking for what weighs heavily on this country, just look in the mirror.  You are no better than the worst of what you accuse others of being.  Unfortunately, this planet is overwhelmingly populated by others who share your arrogance and complete lack of all that makes humanity great.  Fortunately, there are still many around who will bear your despicable burden and help hold all of our society from becoming like you.  I'm not fond of John McCain but he is much more than you will ever likely be. Until the day comes that you are much more of a man than you are now you have no right to act as you do.  Given your failings I doubt you will ever have the courage.

Both of them suck.  Just like we have here with Brown and Cameron.  Shame.

John McCain claims to be a republican too.

And yet you just lied about your political party of choice.  Amazing.

Swiftboat Vets for Justice would, if he were running as a Democrat.

Seems the Republicans aren't the only ones doing "swiftboating".

I'm glad this thread came up. First let me say it sickens me that someone would try to discredit a man's war record. It is just that, record. He went, he served, he survived. I respect him for doing that. <<S>>

Second, where were you guys when they were doing the same thing to John Kerry? Forget the protesting afterward, that's a seperate subject and completely fair game. I'm talking about time spent in country. Give credit where credit is due.

John McCain didn't come back home after a few minor injuries and slander the rest of the troops.

If it sickens you that we would look at the facts objectively, then I hope you die.
