I happen to be a Veteran and I am quite familiar with VA Benefits.

As a Vet I find the IAVA grades to be telling.

IAVA - Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America - Full Ratings List (http://www.iava.org/full-ratings-list - broken link)


McCain D, Obama B+.

Thumbs down "veterans for freedom?"

As a veteran myself, these silly partisan attack ads are meaningless. Who cares about what Obama said about the surge? I'd like to hear Bush explain why he started this war. If these so-called veterans for freedom were truly patriotic, they'd be asking Bush, too.

They aren't, though.

They're nothing but another bunch of paid political hacks taking out "swift boat" ads.
