"McCain was a fighter pilot, who dropped laser-guided missiles from 35,000 feet. He was long gone when they hit. What happened when they (the missiles) get to the ground? He doesn't know. You have to care about the lives of people. McCain never gets into those issues," Rockefeller said.
what i find most hillarious about this is that they didnt even have laser guided missiles in vietnam. at the very end of the war in late 73 or early 74 they started using laser guided bombs. wasnt mccain taken prisoner in like 66 or 67 and spent them years in a pow camp making it quite impossible for him to fire laser guided missle. and also you dont "drop" a missile.
