I don't.

Seems to me, that any other pilot would have been grounded after the second or third crash... not John "I'm the son of a four star admiral" McCain... his connections kept him flying just as his connections got him into fighter pilot school in the first place.

I don't know about you, but I am not convinced that a midshipman who finished fourth in his graduating class at Annapolis was qualified to become a jet fighter pilot... fourth from the BOTTOM that is...

John "I'm the grandson of a four star admiral" McCain is an elitist whose parents and grandparents obviously pulled strings to get him his wings and pulled more strings so he could keep them.
