11. Anyone with a DD214
and a pocket full of cash can join the American Legion. They are quick to endorse the chickenhawks because most of them never served a combat tour themselves. If they did they would have joined the VFW instead.

Since Bush and Co. have been gutting the VA and veterans benefits I have seen the VFW come out with strong condemnations against this administration. I've seen little to no support coming from the American Legion.

I've been a lifetime member of the VFW for many years. There is no amount of money that could make me ever join the AL. They are so dense they don't realize that probably more than half of their members don't support this nonsense in Iraq.
