I just sent the letter below to Senator McCain. The AZ Rpublic is his hometown rag. Hope some of you will give the Senator an earful as well.

Senator McCain,

If you hope to win the support of veterans in the coming presidential campaign then you need to support us when we are shown such disrespect as is depicted in Steve Benson's disgraceful Marine Corps cartoon of last week in your hometown newspaper.

I'm an old Army paratrooper but I stand solidly with the Marines on this Haditha business. I think you would be well advised to consider my position to be representative of the vast majority of veteran voters. And, like most of them, I do vote in every election.

What say you, Sir? Will you stand with us now and publicly denounce this mudslinging at the Corps?

Semper Fi!

Russ Vaughn
