Admiral John S. McCain Sr., the grandfather, died in 1945, when McCain III was 11 years old. So he could not have "got him out of prison". And he could not "got him out of that too". This is news to you, @LegalAmerican?
As I've posted on TBR multiple times, in detail, John S. McCain III could not possibly have caused the Forrestal fire. For the simple reason that all the strike planes were positioned along the Forrestal's aft and quarter deck edges with their exhausts pointed out to sea. This disproves:
* The McCain-caused-the-Zuni-to-launch version of this stupid conspiracy theory;
* It disproves the McCain-ignited-the-spilled-jet-fuel version of this stupid conspiracy theory;
* It disproves any other version of this stupid conspiracy theory, because there is no way McCain's exhaust could affect any other plane or equipment on the USS Forrestal; McCain had no plane behind him and his exhaust blew out to sea.
I have less than zero love for the late Sen. McCain, but the truth is the truth even when you might dislike it. McCain could not have caused the Forrestal fire.

Pete, when you point out reality to certain posters you need lengthy preparation.
Before your next attempt, suggest you begin by constructing a brick wall, then
placing your chair some 4 feet in front and and repeat your argument, ever louder,
till the wall responds: OK, OK, YOU'RE RIGHT AND I'M WRONG; SO I APOLOGIZE.
