You didn't answer the question. The information hasn't been released. Didn't we cover this? You can throw a nice jab, but your sense of humor fades when you have to take one. I'll stick to intelligent discourse from hear on out. I've noticed when humor is absent, so are responses.
"As Carl Bernstein reported in Vanity Fair, he piloted an ultra-light, single propeller plane -- and crashed another time. His fifth loss of a plane has vanished from public records, but should be a subject of discussion in his Navy file." Source
"He found himself literally underwater after his training jet stalled and he couldn't make land. Knocked out as his plane smacked into Corpus Christi Bay, he regained consciousness on the bottom and struggled to the surface."
Appears to me you answered your own question in the first para. And it's "here on out," not "hear".
You're right, it offended me to no end with Clinton wearing a flight jacket. His halfarsed salutes didn't help matter much either. Kudu's to your husband, he may have been there done that while you no doubt kept the home fires going.
You have 12 Dumbo's and 2 McCains? I wasn't aware they were cloning them. If what you're saying is true Id love to know the demographics.
Officers and Chiefs. I too was offended by Clinton acting like a flyboy. I have been there, done that in my capacity in the DoD, please refrain from your patronizing. Perhaps your wife stayed home and kept the family together, laudable.

Glad to know you have stood many hours in the duty office on watch. DoD runs a taught ship. I knew we could all rest easy with you at the helm!

The question was and is ridiculous, again, what 5 aircraft? "Ultra-light"???? Don't think so. He probably started out in T 34's then T-28's and went to primary jets in T2's none were hardly an ultra light aircraft. Vanity fair? Was this earth shattering revelation wedged between the Mableline and Avon ad's?
Sorry but with your 5 undocumented crashes you are hereby out of airspeed, altitude and ideas if you buy into that conspiracy theory.
John McCain is treading on very thin ice if he tries to use his Vietnam war hero "status" to win the election. Kerry tried it in 2004 and it backfired. People only respect Hero's if they do not make a song and dance about it. McCain was always respected because he didn't talk about his ordeal. He will lose that respect if it becomes part of his election campaign. He should be elected on what he is now and what he can do for America.
I couldn't agree with you more!
Furthermore, has anyone mentioned that heroes are not only found in the military? Since when did we become such a militant society?
No offense, but I've known quite a few servicemen who were definitely not heroes and some civilians who certainly are. From all walks of life. Teachers, firefighters, even community organizers
This election shouldn't be about hero worship anyway. We need to try to elect the best candidate to govern our democratic society.
And lastly, there is a huge difference between a person who acted heroically at one time and a real hero.

He is NOT a "national" hero! He was a POW...NOT a NATIONAL hero.
This IS America where we have the freedom to criticize anyone we please!
The LIBERAL handbook??????
So, the Repugs NEVER criticize anyone?? Where are you coming from? ??????
Respect has to be EARNED!
So if McCain hasn't earned your respect, it must be difficult for anyone to do so. Do you respect Obama? If so, why? Because he organized a neighborhood?
