We’ve been getting some early results of the IVAW Board election which took place this weekend. One of our IVAW refugees reports that Matthis Chiroux is now on the board along with Michael Kindlinger and Seth Manzel.

Ackerman; Too bad Agosto wasn’t a birther

Spencer Ackerman, who has been fired from nearly every Leftist rag on the East Coast, takes up for Victor Agosto at his latest employment venture, the Washington Independent; Ackerman probably doesn’t understand the difference between a Reserve Officer who volunteered for duty, then changed his mind and a Regular Army soldier who was ordered and […]

The IVAW Board Series: Joe Kurtenbach

I guess the best way to keep a fella from getting a seat on the board is for us to endorse him. I tried really hard to find reasons for IVAW mermbers to vote against Kurtenbach, but I can’t. He actually served in Iraq and he was an infantryman. He’s disabled and so that comes […]
