"...Also that he lost 4-6 planes and one of his jets blew up on deck killing I think 110 guys..." Not to support McCain, but I can't hold that against him. Getting shot down can't be blamed on him, IMO. And the fire on the carrier (Forestall?) was caused by an aircraft two or three planes away from him. He was damn lucky to have escaped from that when the bombs started cooking off. I don't know how many of you have known or been around any of the released Vietnam POWs. I've been around several, and they're mostly the same: a bit "off" mentally. Can't blame any of them, captivity and torture for an extended period wreaks its toll on a person's mind. But the ones I'm aware of, when they returned to active duty, usually ended up in positions where they didn't have much impact on the people who worked for them.
