They look like fools.... What the f#!@ are they brewing in New England that makes you support this type of punk.
My son is a VFW member (the real deal, CIB, combat deployments in Iraq, etc.) and he lionized his local VFW Commander, told me he had been a POW in VN. The more he talked about him the more flags that went up, I got his name and started some searches (which is getting easier and more efficient concerning POWs especially), no verification whatsoever.
As I was agonizing about how to break this to my son, the Commander passed away, so realizing that he faces our Lord for that transgression, I backed out quietly.
There's more of this out there than people realize, it's shameful. I urge all vets to retain that wee bit o' skepticism and "trust but verify" and then if fraud is found, then do what's right for those that went before us and face them with it.
When I look at Blumenthal I see Elliot Spitzer. Both Atty. Generals. Both liars. And if you dig a little deeper you’ll probably find they’re both philanderers!
Wait just a minute there before you go knocking the VFW – Not a single one of them is wearing a VFW patch or a VFW hat. While I don't know what group they represent, it sure ain't the VFW.
