Burns: D for Veterans, A for the Military-Industrial Complex
by Matt Singer on 2:16 pm.
This says something about his priorities.
Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans Fund, an organization (clearly) for veterans of those two wars says Burns gets a D+ for his efforts for vets. In 2005, he earned a 29% from Disabled Veterans of America.
On the other hand, the Contract Services of America, a trade association for military contractors like Kellog Brown and Root and Wackenhut, gives our Senator an A.
I suppose that makes sense, though. Montana doesn’t have many veterans and we’ve got a lot of military contractors.
Oh, wait. I guess our Senator just doesn’t actually represent this state very well.
(Hat tip to regular commenter ‘jed’ for the heads up on the Vets’ stuff.)

And Rehberg supports our vets even less. He gets a big zero from Disabled Veterans.
