The Raw Story | McCain prone to mishaps as Navy pilot: report

Count them, 5 American Jets taken out by John McCain, that would make him an ACE for the Vietnamese. And yes, had he taken out that Aircraft Launcher the Vietnamese would have made him a national hero.

He's a hero....just not an American one.

And how many billions of American tax dollars went up in smoke for those five jets..?

More mindless attacks. Only 2 of the 5 were the fault of McCain. 1 was shot by another US fighter (not McCain's fault), one was shot done by the V (not McCain's fault), and another suffered flameout, which McCain went through the steps to relight it 3 times before bailing (not his fault). If you're going to attack him, at least do it with something good.

McCain lost FIVE US Aircrafts

Hey, Bush only crashed one jet before he ran away to Alabama....

It's amazing when you think about all the good men and women who belong to the military and these two putzes are considered heroes.

If you read the article I linked you'd know that McCain was lying about the causes of his five downed jets. One he claimed went down because of mechanical failure but the report says the cause was pilot error...

BTW: How does one get shot down in a training jet?

The plane that he crashed in virginia (which your article gives no details, because the details show it wasn't his fault) was because he had flameout, which was confirmed on his radio and that he went through the relite process three times and it didn't work. And your BTW makes no sense since no one is claiming that he got shot down in a training jet, he was shot down in an A-4 by a surface to air missle.

Blaming pilots for being shot down or crashing is extremely disrespectful to their service. You should be ashamed.

I guess we should blame cops for being shot and fire fighters for burning to death as well.

Well, it's not so much them as their destruction of taxpayers' equipment.

Oh so we should be mad about the money that is lost, and not the loss of human life. I see, it all makes sense now.
