Republicans love to talk about the troops and our veterans. Sadly, their record is pretty sad on both supporting our troops and supporting our veterans, something I have written about before. Which may well be why our troops are supporting Barack Obama, not John McCain. This has led to quite a movement of veterans opposing the Bush/McCain republican party. VoteVets.org and Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America being two excellent veterans organizations involved in this election.

But what is most devastating is that a Vetnam Vet and former POW who KNEW McCain back in 'Nam is calling him unfit to be President:

I have always respected McCain's service to our country. But it doesn't automatically make him fit to serve as President. John Kerry had an even more impressive war record than McCain's, complete with Bronze and Silver Stars, some of America's top military honors. Yet the Republicans refused to honor Kerry's war record, instead insulting all decorated Veterans by calling into question the validity of military decorations like the Purple Heart, Bronze Star and Silver Star. I honor John McCain's service. But I also listen to his fellow Vietnam Veteran when he tells us McCain is not fit to be President.
