Ya know something...? I grew up in smalltown America and there were always certain institutions which meant something and gave me some real pride.
The American Legion, who were there to fire off rounds at my fathers funeral and the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW).
Both of these institutions stayed non-political and supported they're fellow soldiers no matter what.
But now they're just another wing of the nut-case GOP bunch and they no longer support the soldier at all.
Tammy Duckworth, a fighting Democrat, who lost her legs in Iraq and is running for the Henry Hyde congressional seat was passed over by the National VFW group with their endordement for her opponent, whom I will not give any reference to just because it's the right thing to do.
Local VFW's were blindsided because they were certain they would be working with Tammy and endorsing her because she and not her opponent was the only veteran soldier in this race.
So now our once great and honored veterans groups are stooping so low as to not support veterans and they hold hands with the corrupted and lying bunch of Republicans that handed Tammy her life-long special medical problem. The VFW is now a partison political group period.
I've been pretty nice guy so far but I need to say this...I will no longer support a VFW or any of it;s fucking membership nor the American Legion. Both of these groups need to stand up right now and kick some leadership ass big time.
What the fuck happened to these two outstanding veterans support groups when they will endorse the Republican just because and with no connection to military service at all and a national hero who served and gave both of her legs for our country.
