I tried to join VFW 15 years ago. Over the course of almost a year and a half and many restarts the organization could not get my name or service number right and could not get military verification for my eligibility because they would not spell my name right or even use the right name. I would go over it letter by letter and digit by digit but when the paper came back it would always be wrong, sometimes in highly creative ways, usually with name order reversed. I gave it up. That level of incompetence was astounding to me and I no longer desired to be part of such an organization.
