(233 posts)Stephen Coonts may have written fiction, but he seems to be the real deal. From Wikipedia: "He entered the Navy the following year and flew an A-6 Intruder medium attack plane during the Vietnam War, where he served on two combat cruises aboard the USS Enterprise (CVN-65). He accumulated 1600 hours in the A-6 Intruder and earned a number of Navy commendations, including the Distinguished Flying Cross. (His navigator-bombardier was LTjg Stanley W. Bryant who later became a Rear Admiral and deputy commander-in-chief of the US naval forces in Europe.)
After the war Coonts served as a flight instructor for A-6 aircraft for two years, then did a tour as an assistant catapult and arresting gear officer aboard USS Nimitz (CVN-68)."
Pull your head out of the sand. Do the research on McCain. Telling me to self-delete is as bad as telling me "if you don't like this country, move out."
I do have some conjecture in my post, but have you ever heard of occam's razor?
