John McCain is a true American hero.
Donald Trump is not.
I did not vote for John McCain because I did not agree with his politics...but I've always admired and respected him.
I applaud his decision to bar Trump from his funeral. As an American hero he has, at least, earned that right.

Are you trying to imply that John McCain was somehow at fault? Not just a lucky survivor of one of the U.S. Navy's most tragic aviation accidents?

Originally posted by @mott-the-hoopleCovered what up? What exactly are you insinuating? That McCain was responsible for the Forrestal disaster?

A) the errant rocket was not launched by McCain or his aircraft. McCain’s aircraft was next to the first aircraft which the rocket struck.
B) poor quality ordnance, not human error, was the cause of the disaster.

So don't expect much from him.
