"Yes, I did sue the military, and I would do it again because I stood up for veterans who had not been treated right by the Pentagon bureaucrats," Eaves said during a news conference at the War Memorial building in downtown Jackson.
For the past two weeks, Republican Gov. Haley Barbour has been airing TV commercials that say Eaves is "wrong for Mississippi."
"He's repeatedly sued America's military for personal financial gain," the announcer says.
Jesse H. Moore, an Army veteran who lives in Jackson, called the Barbour ad "distasteful."
"I think it's just a ploy for the governor to try and discredit John Arthur Eaves," said Moore, 65, who stood with Eaves.
