John McCain And the GI Bill

One of the many reasons Veteran groups give John McCain bad grades on his voting records:

John McCain skipped a vote on the GI Bill to go to a fundraiser in San Diego. How is that Country First?

There is a huge gap in how the two presidential candidates, John McCain and Barack Obama, treat veterans issues in general:

Barack Obama outscored his Republican rival, Vietnam veteran John McCain, in a report card issued by an influential, nonpartisan veterans’ group.

The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA’s) Action Fund gave the Arizona senator a “D” as part of its congressional report card. Obama received a “B” from the group.
