As far as I am concerned, I care about only one. That is the one in my area that I can vote for. Tammy Duckworth (Yes people, she is a woman, how about that you a woman should be in the home people.) was co-piloting a black hawk helicopter when it was struck by an rpg. They managed to land the helicopter safely before she passed out due to her injuries. She lost both her legs and shattered her right arm. She is currently hoping to be returned to flight status for the Illinois National Guard and is running for Congress. I don't want to hear anyone say that she is anti military or soft on defense just because she is a Democrat. This country needs more Democrats (and Republicans) like her.

More than likely the vets are coming back, and realizing they've been lied to and put their lives on the line for that lie! It doesnt suprise me at all that there's more Dem Vets running this year, and i honestly wish there was more. Then again the way Republicans smear good americans that have made sacrifices like they did to Max Clealand, our veterans who greatly served our country shoudn't have to be smeared by a bunch of neo-con war mongers.

talking as an lively accountability serviceman, I style of laugh on the countless "stats" being presented in this question. i've got considered only as many Democrats and Liberals in the protection tension as i've got considered Republican. certainty learn, somewhat some protection tension help Republicans whilst it is composed of vote casting purely using fact this is in our superb interest... Republicans are traditionally extra possibly to offer will enhance, advantages and investment to the protection tension than Democrats. some human beings vote Republican even however they don't share a similar ideological ideals. talking for myself, the themes are undesirable on the two factors of the events. somewhat frankly, I abhor what the Republicans are doing. on a similar time, I hated Clinton. I watched stable protection tension workers get kicked out of lively accountability using fact of "ethical subjects" like being gay, or adultery. yet right this is our Commander in chief, getting a hummer from a artwork subordinate in his place of work. Yeah, large occasion from the Democrats there. i think of our finished occasion (and vote casting) equipment needs an overhaul. Too many "expert politicians" on the two factors of the domicile.

In reality it should not matter what party the Veterans are, they are still American and fought for this country wether justified or not. In a logical point of view, it should, if we want change.

I don't know.
It might be more useful to know what their positions are on the issues than merely to know their biographies.
Timothy McVeigh was a war veteran. Would you automatically vote for him?

I'm sure there's more running as Democrats. The Republicans are still in the military.
