"Thing is, there are conflicting stories about what really happened." - Steve Shaw
"But there are other versions," - Steve Shaw
Really Steve - Let's hear them and see how they could in any way shape or form fit the line spouted by Donuel that "John McCain was directly responsible for the deaths of 134 sailors on the USS Forrestal"
Fact is Shaw that there is no way at all that that lie can be seriously considered or substantiated. But I am absolutely dying to hear these "other versions" and the "conflicting stories" - my bet is that we will not hear another peep out of you on the subject.
I was in the Navy at the time and we studied the extensive film coverage of the incident as it happened to determine what lessons could be learned. The cause of the fire was firmly and indisputably established and, hate to say this Shaw, but someone sitting in the cockpit of a Douglas A-4 Skyhawk positioned on the Port side of the flight deck of rather a large aircraft carrier could not possibly be responsible for an electrical power surge to the wing station mounted missile pod on a McDonnell Douglas F-4B Phantom II positioned on the Starboard side of the flight deck. Over to you, tell me where in any of that I am in error.
and it ill behoves you to call someone a liar just because they demur from your version of the tale. You do seem to have a bee in your bonnet about Donuel and this issue.
