"By weighting selections towards sitting members of Congress, you are encouraging complacency and taking discourse out of the electoral process," Pete Nicholsen, Florida VFW state commander, wrote to the PAC.

I will now send a letter of apology and support to my state's commander, Pete Nicholson. Never let anyone do your bidding for you unless you have a choke collar on them.

If nothing else the uproar over the VFW-PAC has clearly identified the problems we face.

The endorsements was all about building a power based relationship between the PAC’s leadership and powerful political figures inside the beltway. While individuals might be worth it you must understand that those individuals voted for the Congressional leadership that spent us down the river.

We must always judge things by the total impact - not individual events. As vets we learned that lesson the hard way with our blood and tears.

We were correct in letting our leadership at both state and national levels know that the PAC errored and continued support of that error was not going to be tolerated.

WTF!!! Those lying bastard polititions look down their snotty noses at us, and we come out and support their sorry asses. Those bastards start the wars and then step back and draft the best and bravest to fight them. You better dissolve that PAC or I turn in my life membership and never set foot in another VFW post - ever!!!! Pardon me while I go puke.
