Don't forget, [Admiral John McCain Sr.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_S._McCain_Sr.) was the one who directly denied the USS Liberty's request for air support.

It was either God that spared his son in Vietnam or the devil that preserved him to be a further menace on America.

Air support was launched, but recalled by Sec Defense McNamara.

X @elroywintogreen has a short graphic comic that covers the key points.

Yes, and McCain followed that order knowing it would mean the death of his sailors.
