[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He collects a VA Disability Compensation.
2) He collects a Military Pension.
3) He collects CRDP.
4) He collects special pay for his POW Status.
5) Full VA Medical coverage
6) Full VA Dental coverage
ALL UNTIL HE DIES.

These are ALL collected BEFORE ANY OF HIS SENATORIAL Benefits kick in!

He'll NEVER give ANY of these up, but he'll screw the Active Duty and Retirees everytime!

But HE'S not the only problem. Congress and the Senate will always pass laws that effect the American people, but NEVER themselves!

This is the best voted comment on the Military.com article I posted above.

This is why big money Vet groups endorse politically powerful McCain, but he average Vet who cannot get basic, decent care, despised him.[/quote]

I am a veteran I hate what he has done HOWEVER that does not change history!  The man was held is a horrid POW camp for 5+years, refused to be released until all the men were released and bears the pain of his POW injuries to this day (he hasn't been able to raise his arms above his head since Viet Nam).

I get that we are angry however [b]we do ourselves no good in denying what a fellow soldier did during the war because we don't like what he has done since the war[/b].  [/quote]

Just because McCain was a POW he gets a free pass?

He has used his status to enrich himself, and abandon his fellow Vets.

He's a political animal that craves power, his fellow Service Members be dammed.[/quote]

WHAT FREE PASS?!  You think it is a "free pass" to accurately and truthfully describe a man's past?!

A hero during the war remains a "hero during the war" regardless of what he's done since the war.  You cannot change a man's history!  What he did in that POW camp was undeniably heroic.  I am a Vet and a Democrat and I am not going to lie about a man's past to justify my feelings about him in the present!!!

As I said, I have never once voted for the man - but will always consider him a hero during the war.  [/quote]
