28. I cancelled my membership for the VFW...
They are supposed to advocate for Veterans. In their magazine they never call out the Bush admin & other repukes for their VA benefit cuts. They keep inviting him to speak despite his lack of credibility or care for vets.

I expect the VFW to be non-partisan. I would have no problem with them endorsing Rep Chris Smith (R-NJ), despite his other flaws he is a friend to vets. That is why he was removed by Tom Delay from the chairmanship of the Vet's Committee. Despite this, the VFW doesn't mobilize their members to protest.

They are useless.
