To quote on mccain's sellout of the military, the soldiers, and the veterans:
Senator McCain missed 10 of the 14 Senate votes on Iraq up to the middle of last year.

    This year, he has missed them all - including one to honor the sacrifice of the fallen.

    He has voted to table or oppose:

    20 million dollars for veteran's health care facilities.

    322 million dollars for safety equipment for our troops in Iraq.

    430 million dollars for veterans outpatient care.

    One billion dollars in new equipment for the National Guard.

    And, in separate votes: One billion, 500 million dollars in additional Veterans' medical care, to be 
created by closing tax loopholes.

    And one billion, 800 million dollars in additional Veterans' medical care, to be created by closing 
tax loopholes.

    And yet, Sir, you have the audacity to stand in front of the very Veterans you repeatedly and 
consistently sell out, and claim it is your opponent who has put politics first, and country second.

> Keith Olbermann, MSNBC: "Senator McCain - on the 22nd of May, 2003 ... you said, of Iraq, on the 
Senate floor, quote: 'We won a massive victory in a few weeks, and we did so with very limited loss 
of American and allied lives. We were able to end aggression with minimum overall loss of life, and 
we were even able to greatly reduce the civilian casualties of Afghani and Iraqi citizens.' Senator - 
you declared victory in Iraq, five years and nearly three months ago. Today you say: 'victory in Iraq is 
finally in sight?' The victory you already proclaimed five years ago?"

For ANY and all military persons to vote for mccain is a sellout of themselves, the military and the 
country they serve(d).
