What really does McCain know about real batllefield fighting? During a practice training in Corpus Christi, his aircraft crashed into Corpus Christi Bay! His plane was shot down on Oct. 26, 1967 while on a bombing run over Hanoi. He parachuted into a lake, breaking both arms and a leg. And was captured by the Vietcons and thrown into 'Hanoi Hilton' where he stayed till 1973 while all his peers, like John Kerry, were doing the real fighting in the real battlefields!
His Vietnam records show him as bringing bad luck than good:

McCain escaped death again on July 29, 1967. While Forrestal steamed off the coast of Vietnam preparing to launch attacks, a Zuni rocket from an F-4 Phantom was accidentally fired across the carrier's deck....The ensuing fire killed 132 sailors, injured 62 others, destroyed at least 20 aircraft, and threatened to sink the ship... After the Forrestal incident, McCain joined the VA-163 Saints on board the short-staffed Oriskany. Before McCain's arrival, on October 26, 1966, a mishandled flare caused a deck fire, resulting in the death of 44 men, including 24 pilots
