>>The non-partisan group Disabled American Veterans gives John McCain a 20 percent rating for his voting record on veterans' issues. (It gives Barack Obama an 80 percent rating.)
The non-partisan group Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gives McCain a "D" grade for his voting record on issues such as additional funding for combat body armor, and additional funding for post-traumatic stress disorder and other medical treatment. (Obama earned a B +.)<<
I get a chill when I read this. I've read this before. I've seen spokespeople for the DAV being interviewed on TV and heard it coming out of their mouths and still cannot believe that McCain (and his wife) can stand up and call themselves patriots or mavericks or whatever it is that they call themselves this week.
Mrs. McCain offends this military mom also.

The fact that McCain’s millionaire spouse would have the same disdain for our men and women in the military is no big surprise.
Informative link. Thanks.

"They wouldn't not feed them, or supply their vehicles with fuel, or refuse to give them ammunition.
It IS informative, isn't it? (not tooting my own horn; I didn't do the work, just found the link)
For example, there are Republicans whom you'd expect to have good grades - guys like Dick Lugar, who've been focused on military and veterans issues for years if not decades. Lugar got an A, Arlen Specter got an A+, both of Maine's moderate-ish Republican Senators got As, and Senators like Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchinson got Bs. But it's especially damning, I think, given the rah-rah, pro-troop boilerplate of the most conservative of Senators and Congresspeople in the GOP, to note that Republicans like DeMint received Fs - Fs!!! Lindsey "Huckleberry" Graham clocks in with a tepid C, McCain's D has already been noted....and it's rounded out by Jeff Sessions, John Kyl, Chuck Grassley, Larry "I Ain't No Homo" Craig and Sam "Brown people are scary" Brownback (all of whom got Cs).
Meanwhile, over on the Democratic, liberal, commie, troop-hating side of the fence, we see people like Barbara Boxer, Blanche Lincoln, Mark Pryor, Dianne Feinstein, Chris Dodd, Akaka and Inouye from Hawaii, Tom Harkin, Dick Durbin, Evan Bayh, Jeff Bingaman, both Ny's Senators, Clinton and Schumer, Harry Reid, Jack Reed, Sheldon Whitehouse, Jim Webb, Pat Leahy, Bernie Sanders, Byrd and Jay Rockefeller, ALL with either As or A+!
Gosh Darn Democratic Commies. Why do they hate the troops so? ;o)
So....Reublicans (in general): eager to send the troops out into harm's way, not so much about funding their healthcare or education or properly equipping them. Democrats? Far more leery of sending the troops off to battle....but willing to show the nation's gratitude and support when they DO.
Who'da thunk it?
