And that’s why we Vietnam vets will never join the VFW.
Another glaring example of an organization not representing its rank and file members.
The VFW, like the NRA is protecting ruling class ass. They don’t give a nano-rip about us in the real world.
Over time it would seem all groups have fallen or been exposed to influence by many special interest groups and their money. The NRA and VFW may end up being another part of the problem. If they are not with this grass roots reform then they must get the hell out of the way. Many people will be burning their NRA membership cards!
VFW has gone the way of AARP

RE: VFW-PAC sell out committee
...The NRA and VFW are “special interest” organizations and the libs like the senator from California and her assistants use that fact to their advantage pretty tactically in a divide-and-conquer way which is nothing new for professional agitators/protestor/”revolutionaries” such as themselves.
Special interest organizations are simply vulnerable to this tactic because PROFESSIONAL LOBBYISTS are naturally going to gravitate in the direction that the gravy train chugs.. especially if they are neutral agents and the people who they work for give them a long enough leash.
In the case of the VFW, I believe it was a committee within the VFW-PAC which is a separate organization from the actual VFW itself which endorsed BOXER (and even COL. ALLEN WEST’s lib opponent!) See:

We dont need to scrap the VFW the NRA, the GOP, or even the old media and the entertainment industry; we need to do something more fundamental and preventive/progressive than wag our fingers at it.
I’m going to repeat myself and apply myself until this message takes hold because here’s the bottom line: America’s current economic, spiritual crisis and intellectual and moral incoherence can be traced to our ever progressive education problem with regards to higher learning; the unanswered and prevalent unconstitutional school of thought and economic and philosophical misconceptions which the current president wishes to impose upon our great land: marxist/socialist model which is antithetical to the American constitution, the cause that was particularly boosted in the 1960s and which has been metastisizing and growing while damaging and undermining the shining city on a hill which president Reagan was helping the world see. And he was right, freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, even vigilance over our properties and organizations, etc.
America is at a great crossroads once again, and this awakening may lead us to a better solution that everyone has been missing all along so that the problems which follow become simpler ones.
What has been going on on American campuses, the abandonment of intellectual integrity in the name of revolutionary partisanship, is both essential and embedded to the socialist ideology itself!
So its only fair to fight fire with fire against people who have been calling for revolution against the American way BY calling for revolution against them? A well organized “movement” WITHOUT the bomb-building, deception, crazyness and censorship which the BILL AYERS, WARD CHURCHILL, LYNNE STEWART professoriate have actively endorsed?!
