IAVA: Fighting Hard With For Profit Schools To Rip Off Veterans
As I always do each morning, I check my email. What I found today was a nice email from Paul Rieckhoff of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, letting me know about the dangers of for-profit colleges. For-profit colleges, it is now known, account for a huge chunk of Post 9/11 GI Bill payouts, but […]
IAVA wants to limit vets’ choices
So we’ve been reading the emails between the IAVA and members of Congress from IAVA’s little peckerhead twerp, Tom Tarantino, who is threatening to score their scorecard this year before the elections solely on the passage of S.2116, which is being called the “Military and Veterans Education Protection Act“. The IAVA calls it “Protecting the […]
Gallup: Romney’s lead over Obama comes from veterans
Politics seeps into Memorial Day news from a Gallup poll which says that Romney’s lead over Obama is mainly fueled by veterans; These data, from an analysis of Gallup Daily tracking interviews conducted April 11-May 24, show that 24% of all adult men are veterans, compared with 2% of adult women.

So that pissed me off. And last year they scheduled […]

Rieckhoff the martyr
I know this won’t surprise anyone, but Paul Rieckhoff, the executive director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) and an Obama cheerleader, was invited to the White House Dinner, “A Nation’s Gratitude” tonight to somehow honor Iraq War veterans. But Rieckhoff very publicly gave up his ticket; “As founder, I’m especially proud to […]
@PaulRieckhoff: How’s the shark look from up there?
It seems that everywhere I turn, I see something in the media about Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America Executive Director Paul Rieckhoff pimping for a parade for returning veterans from Iraq. He’s been in the New York Times, the Huffington Post and an unnoticed appearance on Rachel Maddow’s show (yeah, I know, I’m surprised […]
No parade, but a state dinner
The Obama Administration decided that there won’t be a parade from veterans of the Iraq War, but there will be a victory lap in the White House in the form of a state dinner later this month; The core theme is the common fighting man or woman, said Douglas Wilson, Pentagon public affairs chief. The […]
