How is McCain's Support for Veterans?

If you really want to know then have a peak at this article.

As a retired veteran I honor and respect McCain for his service and what he went through as a POW, I am; however, sick of hearing him use that as a qualifying point. No Disrespect intended. For me this article drives the point home about my lack of trust in him and his policies when it comes to Iraq, Economy and Veterans Affairs. I'm waiting for someone to pull that skeleton out of the closet that shows he has ties to some big corporation that is getting fat off the Iraq War. I ask the question, how can you say you have an understanding of the U.S. Economy when you don't know how many houses you own and lastly, how can you say you support veteran when you vote down bills that increase benefits, like health care and education for military personnel returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Having been in the military during Vietnam and seeing how the U.S. government treated veterans who returned home physically and mentally damage it would seem to me that McCain would be at the four front of any bill put before Congress and Senate and House ensuring that it passed instead I find that he voted them down. I'll admit that I don't know all the facts but I do know if he voted one down that he voted one to many down.
