Reply #4: Yep, and Bush is also openly hostile to veterans benefits and care

[Muddy Waters Guitar]

It makes me think that many vets and active duty members are naive, that they can't see how hostile Bush is to them and to their traditions. Bush's recent budgetary actions to cut veterans' health care have been especially reprehensible.

While I find John McCain to be repugnant overall, at the very least I respect him for going into Vietnam (despite being something of an aristocrat himself) and fighting. The guy had to survive torture and torment the rest of us could hardly imagine while in the POW camp. Bush in contrast was livin' it up while skipping out on his duties in the National Guard.
