By contrast, Sen. John McCain supported the interests of the Disabled American Veterans 20 percent in 2006. In 2006 Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America gave Sen. John McCain a grade of D. Sen. John McCain supported the interests of the Disabled American Veterans 25 percent in 2005. Sen. John McCain supported the interests of the Disabled American Veterans 50 percent in 2004.

John McCain supported the interests of the Disabled American Veterans 66 percent in 1999. Sen. John McCain supported the interests of the Vietnam Veterans of America 0 percent in 1997-1998.
