Subject: McCain's Record On Vets and Troops

Dear John Podesta,

In recent presidential debates, Senator John McCain has said
things like, "I know the veterans. I know them well. And, I know
that they know that I'll take care of them." It was stunning,
because nothing could be further from the truth. It's something
that our friend Charlie Fink even made an issue of in his new
video at Lunatics and Liars.

A lot of you have asked VoteVets.org to explain why Senator
McCain gets consistently low ratings from veterans groups. Below
is a full list of votes, statements, and positions of Senator
McCain's, which shows that Senator McCain has consistently
bailed on troops and veterans.

It's a very long, but comprehensive list. I encourage you to
take a look and pass it around. An even more robust list,
complete with video, can be found at VetVoice.com, as well.

Sincerely,

Brandon Friedman
Iraq and Afghanistan War Veteran
Vice Chairman, VoteVets.org

Senator John McCain?s Record on Troop and Veterans? Issues

Voting Against Veterans

? Veterans Groups Give McCain Failing Grades. In its most recent
legislative ratings, the non-partisan Disabled American Veterans
gave Sen. McCain a 20 percent rating
[http://ga3.org/ct/-7dUYd51WE7E/] for his voting record on
veterans? issues. Similarly, the non-partisan Iraq & Afghanistan
Veterans of America gave McCain a ?D? grade
[http://ga3.org/ct/i7dUYd51W4m8/] for his poor voting record
on veterans? issues, including McCain?s votes against additional
body armor for troops in combat and additional funding for PTSD
and TBI screening and treatment.

? McCain Voted Against Increased Funding for Veterans? Health
Care. Although McCain told voters at a campaign rally that
improving veterans? health care was his top domestic priority,
he voted against increasing funding for veterans? health care in
2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. (Greenville News, 12/12/2007; S.Amdt.

[http://ga3.org/ct/ppdUYd51WE7q/])

11/17/05 [http://ga3.org/ct/R1dUYd51WE72/])

? McCain opposed an Assured Funding Stream for Veterans? Health

(S.Amdt. 3642 to H.R. 4939, Vote 98, 4/26/06
[http://ga3.org/ct/YddUYd51WE7e/])

? McCain Supported Outsourcing VA Jobs. McCain opposed an
amendment that would have prevented the Department of Veterans
Affairs from outsourcing jobs, many held by blue-collar
veterans, without first giving the workers a chance to compete.
(S.Amdt. 2673 to H.R. 2642, Vote 315, 9/6/07
[http://ga3.org/ct/H7dUYd51WE75/])

? McCain Opposed the 21st Century GI Bill Because It Was Too
Generous. McCain did not vote on the GI Bill that will provide
better educational opportunities to veterans of the Afghanistan
and Iraq wars, paying full tuition at in-state schools and
living expenses for those who have served at least three years
since the 9/11 attacks. McCain said he opposes the bill because
he thinks the generous benefits would ?encourage more people to
leave the military.? (S.Amdt. 4803 to H.R. 2642, Vote 137,
5/22/08 [http://ga3.org/ct/FddUYd51WE7I/]; Chattanooga Times

[http://ga3.org/ct/n1dUYd51W4mI/])

? Disabled American Veterans Legislative Director Said That
McCain?s Proposal Would Increase Costs For Veterans Because His
Plan Relies On Private Hospitals Which Are More Expensive and
Which Could Also Lead To Further Rationing Of Care. ?To help
veterans who live far from VA hospitals or need specialized care
the VA can?t provide, McCain proposed giving low-income veterans
and those who incurred injury during their service a card they
could use at private hospitals. The proposal is not an attempt
to privatize the VA, as critics have alleged, but rather, an
effort to improve care and access to it, he said. Joe Violanti,
legislative director of the Disabled American Veterans, a
nonpartisan organization, said the proposal would increase costs
because private hospitals are more expensive. The increased cost
could lead to further rationing of care, he said.? (Las Vegas
Sun, 8/10/08 [http://ga3.org/ct/ipdUYd51W4mi/])

Lack of Support for the Troops

? McCain co-sponsored the Use of Force Authorization. McCain
supported the bill that gave President George W. Bush the green
light--and a blank check--for going to war with Iraq. (SJ Res
46, 10/3/02 [http://ga3.org/ct/n7dUYd51W4mu/])

? McCain Opposed Increasing Spending on TRICARE and Giving
Greater Access to National Guard and Reservists. Although his
campaign website devotes a large section to veterans issues,
including expanding benefits for reservists and members of the
National Guard, McCain voted against increasing spending on the
TRICARE program by $20.3 billion over 10 years to give members
of the National Guard and Reserves and their families greater
access to the health care program. The increase would be offset
by a reduction in tax cuts for the wealthy. (S.Amdt. 324 to
S.C.R. 23, Vote 81, 3/25/03 [http://ga3.org/ct/0pdUYd51W4mV/])

? McCain voted against holding Bush accountable for his actions
in the war. McCain opposed the creation of an independent
commission to investigate the development and use of
intelligence leading up to the war in Iraq. (S.Amdt. 1275 to
H.R. 2658, Vote 284, 7/16/03
[http://ga3.org/ct/p7dUYd51WE71/])

? McCain voted Against Establishing a $1 Billion Trust Fund for
Military Health Facilities. McCain voted against establishing a
$1 billion trust fund to improve military health facilities by
refusing to repeal tax cuts for those making more than $1
million a year. (S.Amdt. 2735 to S.Amdt. 2707 to H.R. 4297, Vote
7, 2/2/06 [http://ga3.org/ct/RddUYd51WE7w/])

? Senator McCain opposed efforts to end the overextension of the
military--a policy that is having a devastating impact on our
troops. McCain voted against requiring mandatory minimum
downtime between tours of duty for troops serving in Iraq.
(S.Amdt.. 2909 to S.Amdt. 2011 to HR 1585, Vote 341, 9/19/07;
S.Amdt. 2012 to S.Amdt. 2011 to HR 1585, Vote 241, 7/11/07
[http://ga3.org/ct/H1dUYd51WE7f/])

? McCain announced his willingness to keep U.S. troops in Iraq
for decades--a statement sure to inflame Iraqis and endanger
American troops. McCain: "Make it a hundred" years in Iraq and
"that would be fine with me." (Derry, New Hampshire Town Hall
meeting, 1/3/08 [http://ga3.org/ct/DpdUYd51WE7o/])

? McCain voted against a ban on waterboarding--a form of
torture--in a move that could eventually endanger American
troops. According to ThinkProgress, ?the Senate brought the
Intelligence Authorization Bill to the floor, which contained a
provision from Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) establishing one
interrogation standard across the government. The bill requires
the intelligence community to abide by the same standards as
articulated in the Army Field Manual and bans waterboarding.?
McCain voted against the bill. (H.R. 2082, Vote 22, 2/13/08
[http://ga3.org/ct/F1dUYd51WE7W/])

? McCain Also Supported Outsourcing at Walter Reed. McCain
opposed an amendment to prevent the outsourcing of 350 federal
employee jobs at Walter Reed Army Medical Center--outsourcing
that contributed to the scandalous treatment of veterans at
Walter Reed that McCain called a ?disgrace.? (S.Amdt. 4895 to
H.R. 5631, Vote 234, 9/6/06 [http://ga3.org/ct/TddUYd51WE7X/];
Speech to VFW in Kansas City, Mo., 4/4/08)

? Senator McCain has consistently opposed any plan to withdraw
troops from Iraq--a policy that has directly weakened American
efforts in Afghanistan. Senator McCain repeatedly voted against
a timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq. (S.Amdt. 3876 to
S.Amdt. 3874 to H.R. 2764, Vote #438, 12/18/07

[http://ga3.org/ct/QpdUYd51WE7N/])

? McCain said it?s ?not too important? when U.S. troops leave
Iraq. This exchange occurred on NBC?s Today Show with Matt
Lauer:

LAUER: If it's working, senator, do you now have a better
estimate of when American forces can come home from Iraq? 

McCAIN: No, but that's not too important. 

(NBC, Today Show, 6/11/08 [http://ga3.org/ct/F7dUYd51WE77/])

Cheerleading for War with Iraq--While Afghanistan was Unfinished

? McCain suggested that the war in Iraq could be won with a
?smaller? force. "But the fact is I think we could go in with
much smaller numbers than we had to do in the past. But I don't
believe it's going to be nearly the size and scope that it was
in 1991." (CBS News, Face the Nation, 9/15/02
[http://ga3.org/ct/8pdUYd51W4my/])

? McCain said winning the war would be ?easy.? ?I know that as
successful as I believe we will be, and <strong>I believe that
the success will be fairly easy</strong>, we will still lose
some American young men or women.? (CNN, 9/24/02
[http://ga3.org/ct/npdUYd51W4mj/])

? McCain also said the actual fighting in Iraq would be easy.
"We?re not going to get into house-to-house fighting in Baghdad.
We may have to take out buildings, but we?re not going to have a
bloodletting of trading American bodies for Iraqi bodies." (CNN,
9/29/02 [http://ga3.org/ct/81dUYd51W4mm/])

? Continuing his pattern, McCain also said on MSNBC that we
would win the war in Iraq ?easily.? "But the point is that, one,
we will win this conflict. We will win it easily." (MSNBC,
1/22/03)

? McCain argued Saddam was ?a threat of the first order.?
Senator McCain said that a policy of containing Iraq to blunt
its weapons of mass destruction program is "unsustainable,
ineffective, unworkable and dangerous." McCain: "I believe Iraq
is a threat of the first order, and only a change of regime will
make Iraq a state that does not threaten us and others, and
where liberated people assume the rights and responsibilities of
freedom.? (Speech to the Center for Strategic & International
Studies, 2/13/03 [http://ga3.org/ct/iddUYd51W4mn/])

? McCain echoed Bush and Cheney?s rationale for going to war.
McCain: ?We're going to win this victory. Tragically, we will
lose American lives. But it will be brief. We?re going to find
massive evidence of weapons of mass destruction . . . It?s going
to send the message throughout the Middle East that democracy
can take hold in the Middle East.? (Fox News, Hannity & Colmes,
2/21/03 [http://ga3.org/ct/JddUYd51WE7h/])

? "But I believe, Katie, that the Iraqi people will greet us as
liberators." (NBC, 3/20/03)

? March 2003: ?I believe that this conflict is still going to be
relatively short.? (NBC, Meet the Press, 3/30/03)

? McCain echoed Bush and Cheney?s talking points that the U.S.
would only be in Iraq for a short time. McCain: ?It?s clear that
the end is very much in sight . . . It won?t be long . . . it?ll
be a fairly short period of time.? (ABC, 4/9/03)

Staunch Defense of the Iraq Invasion

? McCain maintained that the war was a good idea and that George
W. Bush deserved ?admiration.? At the 2004 Republican National
Convention, McCain, focusing on the war in Iraq, said that while
weapons of mass destruction were not found, Saddam once had them
and ?he would have acquired them again.? McCain said the mission
in Iraq ?gave hope to people long oppressed? and it was
?necessary, achievable and noble.? McCain: ?For his
determination to undertake it, and for his unflagging resolve to
see it through to a just end, President Bush deserves not only
our support, but our admiration.? (Speech, Republican National
Convention, 8/31/04 [http://ga3.org/ct/i1dUYd51W4mh/])

? Senator McCain: ?The war, the invasion was not a mistake.
(Meet the Press, 1/6/08 [http://ga3.org/ct/kddUYd51W4m9/])

? McCain said the war in Iraq was ?worth? it. Asked if the war
was a good idea worth the price in blood and treasure, McCain:
?It was worth getting rid of Saddam Hussein. He had used weapons
of mass destruction, and it's clear that he was hell-bent on
acquiring them.? (Republican Debate, 1/24/08
[http://ga3.org/ct/k7dUYd51W4mo/])

Dangerous Lack of Foreign Policy Knowledge

? When questioned about Osama bin Laden after the 1998 U.S.
missile strikes in Afghanistan, McCain surmised that the
terrorist leader wasn?t as ?bad? as ?depicted.? ?You could say,
Look, is this guy, Laden, really the bad guy that's depicted?
Most of us have never heard of him before.? (Interview with
Mother Jones magazine, 11/1998
[http://ga3.org/ct/k1dUYd51W4mk/])

? McCain was unaware of previous Sunni-Shia violence before the
Iraq War. "There?s not a history of clashes that are violent
between Sunnis and Shias. So I think they can probably get
along." (MSNBC, Hardball, 4/23/03
[http://ga3.org/ct/DddUYd51WE7k/])

? McCain said our military could just ?muddle through? in
Afghanistan. While giving a speech, McCain was asked about
Afghanistan and replied, ?I am concerned about it, but I?m not
as concerned as I am about Iraq today, obviously, or I?d be
talking about Afghanistan. But I believe that if Karzai can make
the progress that he is making, that in the long term, we may
muddle through in Afghanistan.? (Speech to the Council on
Foreign Relations, 11/5/03 [http://ga3.org/ct/J7dUYd51WE7n/])

? McCain stated that Sunni al Qaeda was ?supported? by the Shia
Iranians. (2/2008 [http://ga3.org/ct/-pdUYd51WE7U/])

? McCain again confused Sunni Muslim al Qaeda operatives with
Shi?a Muslim insurgents. The Washington Post reported of McCain:
?He said several times that Iran, a predominately Shiite
country, was supplying the mostly Sunni militant group,
al-Qaeda. In fact, officials have said they believe Iran is
helping Shiite extremists in Iraq. 

?Speaking to reporters in Amman, the Jordanian capital, McCain
said he and two Senate colleagues traveling with him continue to
be concerned about Iranian operatives ?taking al-Qaeda into
Iran, training them and sending them back.?

?Pressed to elaborate, McCain said it was ?common knowledge and
has been reported in the media that al-Qaeda is going back into
Iran and receiving training and are coming back into Iraq from
Iran, that's well known. And it's unfortunate.?? (Press
conference, Amman, Jordan, 3/18/08
[http://ga3.org/ct/-ddUYd51WE7m/])

? Yet again, McCain demonstrated that he didn?t know whether al
Qaeda was a Sunni or Shiite organization. While questioning
General David Petraeus during a Senate hearing, the following
exchange occurred:

MCCAIN: Do you still view al Qaeda in Iraq as a major threat? 

PETRAEUS: It is still a major threat, though it is certainly not
as major a threat as it was say 15 months ago. 

MCCAIN: Certainly not an obscure sect of the Shi'ites overall? 

PETREAUS: No. 

MCCAIN: Or Sunnis or anybody else. (Senate Armed Services
Committee Hearing, 4/8/08 [http://ga3.org/ct/nddUYd51W4m7/])

? McCain incorrectly thought General David Petraeus was in
charge of Afghanistan. The Army Times reported: ?Speaking Monday
at the annual meeting of the Associated Press, McCain was asked
whether he, if elected, would shift combat troops from Iraq to
Afghanistan to intensify the search for al-Qaida leader Osama
bin Laden.

?I would not do that unless Gen. (David) Petraeus said that he
felt that the situation called for that,? McCain said, referring
to the top U.S. commander in Iraq.

?Petraeus, however, made clear last week that he has nothing to
do with the decision. Testifying last week before four
congressional committees, including the Senate Armed Services
Committee on which McCain is the ranking Republican, Petraeus
said the decision about whether troops could be shifted from
Iraq to Afghanistan was not his responsibility because his
portfolio is limited to the multi-national force in Iraq.?
(Annual meeting of the Associated Press, 4/14/08
[http://ga3.org/ct/8ddUYd51W4mE/])

? McCain credited the ?surge? for the ?Anbar Awakening?--even
though the Anbar Awakening preceded the surge by nearly a year.
(7/22/08 [http://ga3.org/ct/FpdUYd51WE7u/])

? John McCain has also recently demonstrated either serious
knowledge gaps in terms of foreign policy, or mounting
confusion, when discussing an array of other countries:

Spain: McCain refused to commit to meeting with the president of
Spain, a NATO ally, after becoming confused about America?s
relationship with Spain, its leader, and, possibly, exactly
where Spain is located. (9/17/08
[http://ga3.org/ct/D1dUYd51WE7i/])

Czech Republic and Slovakia: McCain referred to the two
countries using the name ?Czechoslovakia? several times--despite
the fact that Czechoslakia split apart and hasn't existed since
1993. (7/15/08 [http://ga3.org/ct/D7dUYd51WE79/]; (7/14/08
[http://ga3.org/ct/JpdUYd51WE78/]))

Venezuela: McCain said that Venezuela was a Middle Eastern
country. (9/30/08 [http://ga3.org/ct/J1dUYd51WE7y/])
