If you're saying "something screwy" is going on, WHAT exactly are you implying. The missile that started the whole thing came from an F-4, not an A-4, like McCain's. McCain barely escaped with his life. Not everything explodes Hollywood style. I've seen aviation fires--take my word for it. Besides, most of the incident was captured by the Forrestal's flight deck cameras. To say something in this was McCain's responsibility is to join the tinfoil-hat crowd.
