According to an e-mail received from his campaign this morning, “Senator Cornyn is dedicated to providing our troops and their families with the best benefits possible, consistent with the need to strengthen recruitment and retention in our all-volunteer military.”.
And yet, Cornyn was one of just 22 Senators to oppose the New GI Bill that passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, and is supported by most leading veterans organizations. But that’s not all, Bush has threatened to veto the bill, and yesterday Cornyn signaled his support for a veto that would block expanded benefits for veterans.
How is that supporting the troops? Supporting our troops is about more than photo opportunities and speeches.
