"Also that he lost 4-6 planes and one of his jets blew up on deck killing I think 110 guys."

Now that is also a dishonest slam. I don't like McCain but using dirty tricks against a master at them is not right. He was a victim of a accidental rocket missfire from another plane sitting on the deck of a carrier, the rocket launched from that plane to one sitting right next to his. The burning jet fuel from that plane went under his and others and he almost did not make it out of his plane alive. The blaze caused his onboard munitions to explode as well as on other aircraft. This ruined about 5 aircraft, equipment, munitions, and I guess killed a fair number of people. It was not McCain's fault, but some grunt or malfunctioning munitions.
