John McCain Supports The Military?

John McCain to a VFW group: "Those who have borne the burden of war for our sake must be treated fairly and expeditiously as they seek compensation for disability or illness. We owe them compassion, knowledge, and hands-on care in their transition to civilian life. We owe them training, rehabilitation, and education."..."Whatever our commitments to veterans cost, we will keep them, as you have kept every commitment to us. The honor of a great nation is at stake."


Unfortunately, what John McCain says and what John McCain does are two different things. John McCain:
1)Voted against a $650 million increase in Veterans Medical-Care funding just before 9/11,
2)Voted against increasing VA funding by $1.8 billion in 2004,
3)Voted against increasing VA funding by $1.5 billion in 2006,
4)Voted against increasing VA Out-Patient funding by $430 million in 2006,
5)Voted against the $20 billion VA Medical Facilities Upgrade Bill in 2006,
6)Does not support the new GI Bill

In any election cycle, I can understand the value of political rhetoric. But when your entire campaign is based on your military service like John McCain's is, I think you should actually start supporting the troops. Or stop campaigning on the claim that you have, that you are, and that you will support the troops.
