His record as a pilot was abysmal. His judgment as a presidential candidate, even more so. He has spent years contradicting himself. Again, he needs to retire and STFU.

He is a product of irresponsible nepotism. If not for this, his Navy career probably would never have survived the Forrestal catastrophe.

but he had nothing to do with the Forrestal other than being present. That has been debunked countless times.

He reached his level of incompetence 50 years ago and kept on getting promoted.

He has absolutely nothing to add to the debate and he spends hours doing it.
