Veterans Group Takes On McCain
By Leslie Wayne
VoteVets, a group of veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, plans to broadcast a cable television advertisement attacking Senator John McCain, the only veteran in the presidential race.
The ad features a young mother and Iraqi vet, who challenges Mr. McCain’s statements that it would be fine with him if the United States spent the next thousand years in Iraq.
Holding up her infant son, the vet, Rose Forrest, said, “This is my little boy. He was born after I came back from Iraq. What commitment are you making to him?

This is what military families should know about John McCain

Read how he pulled the plug on POW/MIA Families in their generation long search for the remains of their loved ones. Read how he gutted legislation that took away just about every source of oversight that the families fought for legislatively. Why? Because politcal and economic relations with Vietnam was more important that honoring those who didn't make it back from Vietnam to divorce the wife who stood by him while he was in captivity, to marry a rich Barbie doll from one of the wealthliest families in AZ, to become Senator and run for president.
Some of the men who he turned his back on only wanted to come home and have a normal life and look forward to grandchildren.
Those men missing in Iraq today have John McCain to thank for the red tape that surrounded their initial capture. Be sure to thank him!
