[BIGLOOK]

When I returned home in '71, my father, a retired WWII Navy Chief, took me to the local VFW hall. My father and my grandfather were both members. When hey next met, about a month or so later, I was told by my father that I was not welcome there.

John Kerry and the VVAW were big in the Northeast; most were phonies, hell Kerry himself was and is a phony. But they were busy spreading slander.(BTW, at the time I was Naval reserve for the last 2 yrs of my contract).

I don't imply that all VFW chapters were like this.

>>>John Kerry and the VVAW were big in the Northeast;

I think we can say they still are big in the Northeast.

I guess this is why Abscam came about? Most of the people that got caught in that sting were so powerful, they escaped the consequences.
