Remember the Webb/Hagel GI Bill that was part of the war spending bill? The one that passed (92 to 6), and will be added to the $165 billion that the House and Senate have already approved for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The bill Barack Obama voted for and the one John McCain, as is all too common, didn’t show up for work for.
Well McCain is all too happy to take credit for a vote he had no part in.
Quote:

McCain, campaigning in Ohio, told voters, “I’m happy to tell you that we probably agreed to an increase in educational benefits for our veterans that not only gives them increase in their educational benefits, but if they stay in for a certain period of time than they can transfer those educational benefits to their spouses and or children. That’s a very important aspect I think of incentivizing people of staying in the military.”

McCain opposed the Webb/Hagel GI Bill. He
actively fought against it.
What’s this “we” shit?
It’s the same wannabe-participant armchair jockey mentality that says “Were winning”…wrong dumbass, our troops would be the ones who are winning, and the oil companies and contractors are winning no bid contracts.
You’ve. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me.
