IAVA and the GI Bill 2.1
Y’all remember that Operator Dan warned about the GI Bill that Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America rammed through Congress last year with their cohorts in the Democrat Party.

Are the New Changes to the GI Bill Really An Overall “Win” For Vets?
Lost in all the noise about the repeal of DADT was news that the lame-duck Congressed passed a bill that implemented major changes to the GI Bill. Of course since this bill was passed by a Democrat-controlled Congress, IAVA considers it a win but the American Legion considers it a positive as well (Strangely, I haven’t […]
IAVA’s Paul Rieckhoff: This Senate sucks a lot
Remember all of the shit we went through with IAVA’s scorecard the last two election cycles (2008 and 2010 and interim the 2009 post about “nonpartisan IAVA“)?

Criticisms of the New IAVA Scorecard (Actually, ALL Scorecards)
[Look folks, I realize this shit is dry enough to light on fire and use for heating, so you don’t need to read it all, but IAVA put a lot of effort into it, and so I want to give it an equal amount. Read until you fall asleep, and when you wake up, wipe […]
The VFW PAC issue revisited
My friends have weighed in on the VFW PAC issue, which I started last week. Mr Wolf from Blackfive has a post at Breitbart’s Big Peace and he’s still advocating that you to burn your VFW membership card. Well, I can’t do that – mine is aluminum. Yes, I’ve been a member that long – […]
