This statement--made near the end of Friday's debate--immediately infuriated veterans across America and overseas. In fact, Senator John McCain has a very clear, long, and illustrious history of not supporting troops and veterans one bit.
Now, I've seen legislative examples, I've watched the YouTubes, and I've lived this lack of support in more ways than one. But now, for the first time, I've tried to compile as much of this non-support as possible into a single document--from a variety of sources--complete with links, quotes, and video clips. It's something that readers often ask me about, so I hope this helps. I'm sure there's a lot missing, so feel free to add more in the comments. But for now, I think this should give us a good start in exposing John McCain's abysmal of record of supporting troops and veterans. Here we go:

What about the Audio Home Recording Act?
- Contrary to what the RIAA wants you to believe, it appears that making a copy of an audio recording may be perfectly legal in the US, even if you don't own the original recording, as long as it is for noncommercial purposes. The reason for this is the Aud - helaine on 2007-01-26

Let's say you're driving down the freeway and have a thought you'd like to write down. Maybe you want to remember something to pick up at a store later in the day. What do you do? Pull over and write it down? Nah. If you had Jott, you could just call the a phone number, leave a voice message, and then the magic begins - it translates that message to text and sends it back to you in email. Really cool service, and here John Pollard, CEO, and Shreedhard Madhavapetti, VP of engineering give us the
