Here stands John McCain in front of what many thought were one of his SEVEN houses. Turns out this is Walter Reed Middle School. It was supposed to be a backdrop of Walter Reed Hospital. Obviously, none of the people in the audience, and none of the politicians who drape themselves in the flag, and wash themselves in the blood of our fighting men and women knew the difference. Here the war hero was supposed to stand, stirring up emotions of the men and women who suffer inside. The sad reality is that John McCain is no friend of the men and women in uniform. At least the way his voting record reads. John McCain has blocked funding for the VA, worked to sabotage the recent improvements to the GI Bill and worked to make sure a foreign company was awarded a major US Air Force contract.

Or Maybe I am Wrong. Maybe this was the future men and women McCain and the war profiteers are targetting for wars in the coming years. Maybe, if we are lucky we can be like other countries and send 14 and 15 year olds off to war. Sad, sad, sad.
