Vance Has a History of Disparaging Veterans' Service [View all]

During Vance's 2022 Senate Campaign, he went on a right wing radio show and made the now famous comment that he "....doesn't care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other."

Gen McCaffrey was awarded three Purple Hearts and two Silver Stars during his career.
