Veteran McCain can't bank on US military vote

http://rawstory.com/news/afp/Veteran_McCain_can_t_bank_on_US_mil_11012008.html

War hero John McCain should have been able to count on fellow veterans to back his White House bid, but Democrats have managed to trim the Republican lead by actively courting the military vote.

With the United States engaged in two unpopular wars, the military vote is worth more than the relatively small number of ballots it represents.

1. Vets and militry folk know his true war record
and many Generals have said they would not want to serve under his erratic leadership.

Ex Viet vets have a special dislike for this man.

If experience counts.

Why are these viet nam vets so angry?

>>I guess I never thought past the obvious on McCain. I mean it was always how he stayed behind with the other POWs in Vietnam rather than get an early release.

Then I ran across this video made by the Vets Against McCain ...

Now these Vets Against McCain are not just Sgt. Bilko and his buddies. They include Senator Bob Smith (R-NH), Dr. Joseph Douglass, Jr. (author of “Betrayed: America’s Missing POWs“), Tracy Usry (U.S. Senate Minority Staff), Dolores Alfond (Chairperson; National Alliance of Families), Al Santoli (former Congressional Chief of Staff), Representative Bob Dornan (R-CA), Cpl. Bob Dumas (U.S. Army, (Ret)), Dr. James Lucier (former U.S. Senate Chief of Staff).

So rather than Washington corrupting John, John was already corrupted and the nice little story we are told about his POW years is a whitewash.<<
