OK, I get it. We're not allowed to mention Sen. McCains war record, because he's so sensitive about it.

I still don't understand why not, since he's running around touting himself as a "War Hero", but can we talk about his record in the senate? Or is that off limits too?


McCain's Military Record in the Senate

I cringe at the thought of Senator John McCain as Commander-in-Chief. Too many people are afraid to question Senator McCain’s record and those that do are often lambasted as being unAmerican or insane. The media won't cover his senatorial record, but they certainly oblige to perpetuate his POW-hero status. I am a combat veteran and I deserve my 1st Amendment rights as much as the next person. I have no desire to slander Senator McCain's military service, but I am definitely critical of his senatorial record.

In over 3 decades of service, Senator McCain has had plenty of opportunity to draft legislation or to assist our military, but he has been found absent.

- Military retiree benefits have been slashed to all-time lows while Senator McCain remained silent.

- The Veterans Administration hospitals have been cess pools for years and Senator McCain has remained silent.

- Soldiers still qualify for "food stamps" because their pay isn't adequate to support a family. It is revolting to me to send BILLION$ of dollars overseas and domestically on illegal aliens, but can't pay soldiers enough to keep them off government assistance programs......

While the disposition of American MIA/POWs was still unknown, Senator McCain fought for the normalization of relations with Vietnam. He even fought for up to $50,000 reparations for select Vietnamese soldiers, but failed to seek any form of compensation for our own American troops or their surviving families.
