"As President, I will do everything in my power to ensure that those who serve today and those who have served in the past have access to the highest quality health, mental health and rehabilitative care in the world. The disgrace of Walter Reed must not be forgotten. ... 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."

Thank god McCain voted against the GI Bill. Until he did this, I had NO idea how crappy McCain's backing of the vets was! He has voted for veterans benefits/issues only 20% of the time?! Saying you are a patriot doesn't make it so, you need to have your actions back up your words, and Mr. McCain THIS IS NOT THE CASE! It is clear that McCain sees the world like President Bush, the haves and the have nots.

I"m in the military and I can say Mccain doesn't speak for me and he'll never earn that right. He just doesn't want to see the retention rate drop in the military. In turn that fucks every soldier in having a good education. If they do get out like I will, I'll still be in debt. GI bill my ass. Mccain doesn't care about the individual.
