This is the first truly unflattering story I’ve read about John McCain. Its in a Brittish publication perhaps because the US media tends to be deferential towards candidates for the Presidency. When George Herbert Walker Bush ran for president in 1988 or 1992 an old crewmate of his began complaining that Bush ditched his plane prematurely ensuring the death of another man on his aircraft. I didn’t read this until years later and don’t know whether the grudge nursed through the decades had merit but the Press pretty thoroughly shut it down. That’s no longer an option with the vitality of the Internet.
