Like people, a group will be known by the kind of good works they do and company they keep.
OBTW. Last night while down at the post I asked some of my fellow members about the names and group you mentioned here. Care to guess what they told me?
Yeah, well, I'm a combat veteran as well,(Vietnam 68-69) but obviously that doesn't necessitate good reading or cognitive skills.
John Brieden is a former Army Ranger and Jay Kimbrough is a Marine Corps combat veteran of Vietnam and a Purple Heart recipient. Whatever your fantasy is about "some Air Force vets coming together", hopefully I've dispelled that errant notion. As far as asking your buddies at the VFW, did you really expect them to have a clue? The boys down at my local Post and everyone I've ever visited in my travels are not too busy talking politics or the attributes of recently formed veterans groups. They're mostly about drinking, hunting, fishing, and sports, interspersed with general griping and other irrelevent BS. And for the most part, good and honorable men.
What's obvious to me is that you want a reason to diminish anything associated with Rick Perry. So be it, have at it. Just don't hide behind this BS about whether or not a veterans group meets your expectations. "Veterans for Rick Perry" is exactly what it claims to be, a group of veterans who are advocates for Rick Perry. They don't claim to be the Wounded Warrior Project, and it's disingenous of you to demand that they must be such an organization in order to be legitimate.
