mccain, cornyn, hating veterans

We? Out of the 92-6 vote, two senators were not present. One of them was Ted Kennedy, who is home recovering from brain surgery. The other was John McCain. Even John Cornyn was faux-brave enough to vote "yea" after his defiance was stomped out of Congress like a flaming bag of dog shit.

Time and time again, John McCain has been a detriment to troops and veterans, not only for his disastrous plans for Iraq but for the curtailing of benefits soldiers receive when they come home. His loyalty no longer resides with fellow veterans but to slick D.C. politics.

I know you're not reading this, Senator McCain, but we'll be watching for more of the same.

After voting against the Dwell TIme Amendment that would give soldiers equal time at home as they spent overseas, both adamantly opposed the new GI Bill as "too generous." Going a step further, Cornyn's aide personally told me during a call to his office that the new GI Bill <A href="http://vetvoice.com/userDiary.do?personId=13">would encourage soldiers to leave the service</A>. Of course, Cornyn pulled that notion out of John McCain's ass, who repeatedly suggested the new GI Bill would <A href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/26/mccain/">harm the military by way of reduced retention</A>. Transferability of the bill to family members never came up during the opposition to this bill.
