John McCain can't seem to handle people questioning his accountability on G.I. Bill even if they are Vets.

John McCain gets testy with a vet when questioned on his lack of support for Jim Webb's GI Bill and other bills that he's voted against which would support veterans.

He also attack Jim Webb who actually did the G.I Bill. Said Jim Webb hasn't done enough. Watch the video. So where is the media on this?

Here is John McCain's Record on Veterans.

Why then, did McCain vote last year against providing more money for military and veterans hospitals? In February 2006, McCain voted against a Senate amendment that would have provided for at least $19 billion for these facilities, paid for by eliminating tax cuts for the wealthiest earners. [Senate Roll Call Vote 7, 2/2/06].

McCain (R-AZ), Nay  

Statement of Purpose:     To support the health needs of our veterans and military personnel and reduce the deficit by making tax rates fairer for all Americans.

Why did Jim Webb have to urge John McCain yet he refused the G.I. Bill?

http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/webb -urges-mccain-to-sign-onto-gi-bill-2008- 03-19.html

Sen. Jim Webb (D-Va.) is calling on presumptive GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) to sign on as a co-sponsor to his GI bill, which would improve educational benefits to veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"McCain needs to get on the bill," Webb told reporters after a Christian Science Monitor breakfast meeting on Wednesday. He said legislation mirroring the post-World War II GI bill should not be considered a "political issue."

McCain does not like being held Accountable. May 08, 2008

Will the Media cover any of this?

Before The War:

McCain used many of the same arguments as Donald Rumsfeld, Vice President Cheney and President Bush when advocating going to war with Iraq.

So there you have it.

McCain: ‘I Received The Highest Award From Literally Every Veterans Organization In America’»

The recognition McCain has received from veterans groups is not “high awards” but failing grades:

— Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave McCain a grade of D for his record of voting against veterans. (By contrast, Obama got a B+.)

– Disabled Veterans of America noted McCain’s dismal 20 percent voting record on veterans’ issues. (Obama had an 80 percent.)

– In a list of “Key Votes,” Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) notes McCain “Voted Against Us” 15 times and “Voted For Us” only 8. (Obama voted for VVA 12 times, and against only once.)
