McCain consistently votes against veterans benefits whereas Obama has supported them. McCain doesn't believe PTSD is a real condition (or more likely is in denial about it). Obama understands that vets see and experience a lot of things that will be with them for life, all in the name of service to our country and he thinks we owe it to them to offer them help if they want it.

What is John McCain about?
John McCain is the Republican nominee for President. He has a lot of changes planned out, that are (in my opinion) very good for the country. If he wins, he has a plan to raise the value of homes in the United States and prevent foreclosures. He does plan on keeping troops in the Middle East until the job is done. McCain is very pro-gun and will protect the rights of people to bear arms. In my opinion he is much more qualified to be president than Barack Obama. I hope you will vote for him as well.
