McCain Doesn't Support the Troops

John McCain is a Vietnam vet and POW. Veterans trust John McCain.

But McCain voted against funding for adequate armor for our troops in Iraq. He voted against sufficient rest for troops between deployments. He voted repeatedly against increasing health care and other benefits for veterans.

McCain voted against our troops’ interests so often that Disabled American Veterans gave McCain a 20% rating, and Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America gave McCain a D.

McCain seems out of touch with the latest technological developments in weaponry and combat protection our young soldiers need. Does he understand today’s higher cost of medical care our wounded need?

McCain's Straight Talk Express rolled over into the Double Talk Ditch when he said he will take care of our Vets.

Meanwhile, an Illinois senator voted against the invasion of a country that had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. The young senator thought America should stay the course of hunting down and killing bin Laden. This senator voted in favor of funding for proper armor and combat equipment for our troops, and for healthcare coverage when soldiers come home injured.

Consider a vote for Obama —his actions speak loudly of his true support for our troops and their families.
