And if these vets support McCain, why has McCain consistently voted to cut their pay and benefits? John McCain only TALKS about supporting our troops; when it comes time to actually DO something to back those words up, he falls short every single time. If people will actually look into McCain's record instead of just listening to his rhetoric, they'll find out who's really an empty suit in this race.

This isn't about the surge - it's about vets being able to live normal, healthy lives after war. And so far, that doesn't happen often enough. I don't know how ANY vet could be for McCain.

And now, guess what, his gamble and his faith in the ability of the US military to pull it off, has succeeded. Bush can now retire from office knowing that he did the right thing, and that he made the world a very significantly safer place for the future.

I agree Bush has made some decisions I did not like, but our government was originally founded for common defense against our enemies and that is what we are accomplishing. I want to get out of Iraq, I want our soldiers back home, everyone does. We have to stay and finish the job. God Bless the greatest country on earth ( even though some think we are mean).

I'm sure they all have good paying jobs, good health care benifits and have the community support of the republican community at thier side. What is amazing is that if one is so pro kill the bad guy, why is it that we have over 7000 Americans 6 feet under and Bid Ladin free. Bush has had at least 7 years and more than 150,000 military personel with a united international community to begin with. Vets for freedom if they are so politically concerned about what is good and what is right, why are they so new on the sceen. What they are now are Black Water employees.

Are you solders or are you running for office. I’m mean seriously some of these guys are just plain dumb if they think they are the ones keeping the violence under control. NO. The money our government is paying these terrorist is keeping the violence down. They act like just because they have been over there they know every thing that’s going on when in fact our whole country is being played like fools by the Republicans and there fake war on terror in Iraq. Yeah there may be some soldiers over there for McCain but most of them want to come home so that’s why they support Barrak. All of these soldiers for McCain are so quick to jump on the bandwagon on how Barrak is not giving all the credit to the surge but what did they have to say when McCain wanted to keep the war going for as long as he could maybe even 100 years and now that the Iraqi people have wanted us out of there country NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN McCain supports a withdrawal date. HE IS So Fake and so are these so called veterans for McCain. Of course they support McCain they are out of harms way now. But people like my brother are still over there. You fake vets need to get over yourselves and stop pushing this political BULL, and if you think the surge is so great why don’t you go back over there and fight so that my love ones can come home. I will pray for you. I'm so sick of these toy solders playing this political game. Are you solders or are you running for office.

If you rob my house should I pat you on the back because you wiped your feet first? We should not have been in Iraq in the first place. Any veteran who bothers to read the record also knows that Sen.
