Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America
IAVA; more useless, empty gestures
The other day we talked about Paul Rieckhoff and his Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and their boundless support for a parade through New York City to mark the end, such as it is, of the war in Afghanistan. Today, we read in the pages of the Washington Times how they are pushing for […]
Phil Carter struggles to remain relevant
Phil Carter, one of the co-founders of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, that completely useless organization headed by valor thief, Paul Reickhoff, and Obama’s veteran adviser for his 2008 campaign, wrote in Foreign Policy a little piece about how you folks aren’t mature enough to make choices in your life because the popular culture […]
Kokesh’s drug caper
TSO sends us a link that was just updated at the Washington Post at 2:05pm today in reference to Adam Kokesh’s arrest in the late night hours. Apparently the drugs involved were hallucinogenic mushrooms. Of course, that doesn’t come as much of a surprise to regular readers of this blog, since we knew of his […]
Female veterans coming home; IAVA’s credibility problem
There’s a fairly good article at NBC News about female veterans returning home, sent to us by Green Thumb and Ex-PH2. My problem with it is that they quote Paul Rieckhoff in the article who says health care employers should be hiring more women veterans; “There aren’t enough female health professionals in the VA system.

You can’t write about Rieckhoff without mentioning TAH
And Stars & Stripes‘ Leo Shane didn’t today when he wrote a mostly fawning piece on Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and their executive director Paul Rieckhoff today. But waaaaaaayyyyy down the literary handjob; His high profile makes Rieckhoff an easy target. Earlier this summer, the military blog This Ain’t Hell uncovered a photo […]
Poor Paul Rieckhoff a victim of the machine
You probably remember the discussion about poor Paul Rieckhoff who was wearing a Bronze Star Medal he was never awarded to an interview for pictures at his alma mater. Well, he’s nearly in tears about it in the Military Times (sorry, I don’t link to them anymore because their senior editor, Tobias Naegele is a […]
Addendum to the Rieckhoff saga
Apparently, someone is interceding in this little battle between Paul Rieckhoff and reality, so I feel it’s incumbent on myself to provide this interloper with all of the facts. I tried to post as little of Paul’s file on the internet as possible because it seemed that he was not too receptive to that. I’m […]
Paul Rieckhoff and needless embellishment
I’m sure you all know Paul Rieckhoff, the Executive Director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. Paul and I have been sparring since they published their first “non-partisan” scorecard before the last Presidential election that was scored so that then-Senator Obama was a better friend of veterans than Senator McCain, you know, the veteran […]
