Worth bringing up over 30 years later.

With all this flag burning going on within the IVAW I thought that this was worth posting about. Also since that for a good number of people to include myself that this is the first time to read about it, Rick Monday saves the US Flag. I mean it is interesting story to read and […]

Damon vs. Reickhoff in “The Green Zone”

As we pointed out in an earlier post, Paul Reickhoff, the Executive Director of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) has gone totally Hollywood by engaging in a public cat fight with Miley Cyrus.

Paul Reickoff attacks teenage girl

Paul Reickoff, the executive director of IAVA, pictured above, couldn’t get angry at the terrorists and insurgents that were maiming and disfiguring his troops in Iraq, but he’s finally found an enemy (who isn’t named Bush) he can get mad at – a seventeen year old girl.

IAVA co-founder, Phil Carter, hit by Gitmo bus

Some of you who were around TAH last year, might remember that TSO tore up the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America “scorecard” of the Senate which was created and manipulated to make us believe that Barack Obama was better for veterans than John McCain.
