I laughed all the way through your story about John McCain. A self inflicted Joe Btfsplk. I expect no one was held responsible for the death and destruction on the aircraft carrier? Top brass rarely are, as I understand it

The whole thing with the "Forrestfire" was the bomb shortage leading to those old bombs being there. That did become a "big deal" reaching all the way to MacNamara. You can read the whole chapter which is a lot more than what I put in this, in the book (the previous is a shameless personal plug). Inherently, a carrier is a dangerous place - lots of fuel, lots of explosives, etc. Even more than most warships.

I bought the book a while back. Have been too busy fleeing Ukraine to Canada to read it. Am reading The Frozen Chosen

This one, Allen, is for you and Tanya I suggest that you see it yourself before sharing. 'Give Peace a Chance' sung by Ukrainian young ones in 2014. Very sadly beautiful. ЁЯМ┐ЁЯМ╗ЁЯМ┐
