His most unimpeachable stance, right? How could a veteran--a POW--be anything but sympathetic and supportive? Especially after this statement during the first debate:
"I know the veterans, I know them well, and I know that they know that I'll take care of them, and I have been proud of their support and their recognition of my service to the veterans, and I love them, and I'll take care of them, and they know that I'll take care of them."
..and his suggestion that if he started a spending freeze, it would cover everything *but* defense and veterans' programs.
Well, non-partisan veterans' groups are looking at this claim of support. It apparently upset a lot of troops and vets.
So someone compiled a thorough list for his voting record and statements on troops and vets issues.
Please look at that. Even if it's not your hot-button issue. Even if you just skim it. It's pretty incredible.
