I have not been very impressed with the VFW in recent years. However, this story is of interest, I think.

WASHINGTON - The nation's largest combat veterans group on Friday urged the military to "exercise a little common sense" and call off its investigation of a group of Iraq war veterans who wore their uniforms during anti-war protests.
"Trying to hush up and punish fellow Americans for exercising the same democratic right we're trying to instill in Iraq is not what we're all about," said Gary Kurpius, national commander of the 2.4 million-member Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Has the chimp lost even the VFW? More over the hump.
Well, no...he probably hasn't lost many of them. They are, after all, still fighting WW2.
However, it is refreshing to see their leader speak up....
"We all know that people give up some individual rights when they join the military," Kurpius said. "But these Marines went to war, did their duty, and were honorably discharged from the active roles. I may disagree with their message, but I will always defend their right to say it."
