That is the point of the thread, I'm not trying to dicuss decisions made during the Vietnam war, after the war...etc.
The idea that McCain hasn't done enough for veterans is an idea that POWs share as do others but opening a discussion on Vietnam is like opening a can of worms.
The basic idea is I don't think McCain has done enough for Veterans. Thats it.

I can respect that. The problem is that you keep arguing from the point of "i think" and posting iffy sources, presented as facts to back up your point.
Admittedly, there are others that feel the same way you do, and that supposedly the DAV does not think he gives enough support. My only problem is that there are thousands of links that all lead back to one article that says he voted against dozens of bills between 2005 and 2006. The article never mentions the specific bills, or any earmarks or conditions that could have been attached. The only act i know of during that period was the Veteran's Health Care Bill of '05, and i'm pretty sure it passed the Senate with unanimous consent.
