VoteVets.Org just released a video against John McCain criticizing his opposition to the new G.I. bill currently being debated in Congress. Featuring several young U.S. veterans, the video calls on McCain and other senators to support today’s troops by increasing the amount of financial aid veterans receive from the government to pursue their education. While not expressly an attack ad, the video wouldn’t be the first instance of U.S. veterans speaking out against a presidential candidate in an election year—as anyone who’s seen the 2004 John Kerry "Swift Boat" ads can certainly attest.
