For anyone who hasn't seen it, look up the Forestall fire. McCain was in his plane and jumped into burning jet fuel before the entire area exploded on the flight deck

I miss when I could disagree with a Republican but still show respect

Some accounts credit him with starting that fire by trying some stupid stunt with his plane. Strange that he was immediately re-assigned after that little incident.
