Retired Admiral smacks McCain's poor record of support for veterans
The Obama campaign rolls out a military man, John Natham, who retired as a four-star admiral after four decades in the Navy, to respond to McCain's adver-sleazement hitting Obama as "dangerous" and "dishonorable to our troops":
"As a recently retired Admiral, I know who has the strongest record of supporting the men and women currently serving in our military. Senator Obama has consistently voted to fund our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq and, just as importantly, a proven record of support when they return home. That's why independent veterans organizations give Senator Obama higher marks than Senator McCain. Despite consistent distortions of his record, thousands of veterans like myself support Senator Obama because he has the judgment, character and integrity to be a great president. We will need a great president to lead us in these very challenging times."

McCain's ad, to which Admiral Natham responded, distorts a statement Obama once made about the need for more troops in Afghanistan to avoid civilian casualties there:
How dishonorable is John McCain for stooping so low.
