"McCain, the "below par" pilot, eventually lost 5 military aircraft, the first during a training flight in 1958 when he plunged into Corpus Christi Bay while trying to land.
He assumed command of the RAG, which trained pilots and crews for carrier deployments. The assignment was controversial, some calling it favoritism, a sop to the famous son of a famous father and grandfather, since he had not first commanded a squadron, the usual career path.
While Executive Officer and later as Squadron Commander McCain used his authority to arrange frequent flights that allowed him to carouse with subordinates and 'engage in extra-marital affairs.' This was a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice rules against adultery and fraternization with subordinates."

All your anti-mcCain stuff seems to have nothing to do with this article. The point is that when you expose a lie of a candidate you are swift boating. McCain hasn't made up a story about his high grades, valor, purity etc. Some of what you say I've heard McCain himslef admit (5th from bottom of class). Do you realize that just to be admitted to the Naval Academy, you have to be near or at the top of your high school class and then some? His carousing and rejecting his first wife isn't something you'd expect him to brag about. Kerry certainly didn't brag about his marrying for money. Try another thread to criticize McCain.

Not in McCain's case, which you would have known IF you had read the full articles written by Vietnam veterans that I posted. McCain was accepted because his father and grandfather were admirals. McCain was a "legacy child" accepted for whom he knew instead of for what he knew. In the same way, GW Bush was accepted into Yale's undergraduate and Harvard MBA program as a "legacy child," certainly not based on merit alone.

Have you exposed Kerry as a liar? Where's your evidence? Kerry's story is supported by an OFFICIAL investigation by the armed forces and the first-hand testimony of those on his boat. The Swift Boaters only claim to have been in nearby boats but have no EVIDENCE to prove how close their boats were to Kerry's.
