Re John McCain false propaganda spread by alt right conspiracy sites because McCain wasn't Trump's biggest fan


The Navy extensively investigated the fire on the Forrestal and that was certainly not their conclusion ,far from it
 The explosion resulted from a missile misfire from a MD F4 phantom lined up opposite the Skyhawks on the rear deck of the Forrestal . The experienced F4 pilot was extensively interviewed (and it wasn't McCain, who flew Skyhawks) nor was the pilot of the F4 essentially at fault, two safety features failed one by accident the other because the ships senior command decided to overide navy regulations for operational efficiency 


McCain invited Obama to be a main speaker at his funeral, which he did, and defended him even during the presidential election they fought together . McCain gently removed a mic from a woman who suggested Obama might not be American and politely told her ... 'no ma'am he's a decent family man who I just happen to disagree with over some policy issues '
Trump took up the mad birther conspiracy theory instead


Anyone who thinks the Hanoi Hilton was a holiday camp is woefully misguided.McCain was offered early release as a weapon of propaganda but refused to go ahead of his fellow POW s and spent years incarcerated instead


Trump never served in any war, he took four college deferments and claimed he had bone spurs instead
He failed last week to attend a ceremony for the fallen US soldiers in France fearing his hair weave would suffer in the rain and on arrival back at the WH couldn't even be bothered to attend veterans Day the following Monday at Arlington just a short drive from the White House
