Well, I stand corrected. I thought they had changed the membership requirements to accept those who served during wartime. I knew a lot of WWII vets growing up who were members but told me they’d never been in combat.
I also notice those who served during the “Indian Ocean Operation” are eligible. Hell, I helped build the base at Diego Garcia in 1973 but I’m not eligible.
Guess they’re learning they’re just a little too picky.
Well, they are the Veterans of Foreign Wars. It's the premise the organization was founded on. Instead of changing their premise perhaps they should change their political focus and their perception.
