IAVA on the cover of TIME
Paul Reickoff sent out a letter to his membership of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America organization congratulating them for being chosen to be on the cover of Time Magazine. But if you look at the cover, it’s not “we veterans” on the cover, it’s the follically-impaired Reickhoff;
I dunno, if I led an organization of veterans and I wanted them represented on the cover of a national magazine, I’d have put someone besides myself on the cover…well, unless the organization is all about promoting me and getting me ahead. The letter he sent to the membership began;
Dear XXXXXXX,
We’ve got some huge news. And it’s all about you – the “New Greatest Generation.”
This week, 4 IAVA Member Veterans and I are on the cover of TIME Magazine!
This is a huge moment for IAVA – and for all new veterans.
Well, if it’s all about veterans, why is Reickoff in one of the people in the picture?
You can watch “the making of the Time cover” video.
Thanks to StrikeFO for the link.
Thanks to Blackfive, who made it past the cover of Time and read the article, for the link.

JOnn, it’s not about veterans, it’s all about “new” veterans. And, it’s not like anyone outside of a doctor’s office will see the cover, anyway.
Slime magazine made me swear off looking at the courtesy copy at my friendly neighborhood auto repair shop after this cover abomination:

I hadn’t realized that al Queda Times was still publishing.
Are they for sale anywhere? Or are they just a direct mailing kinda thing?

If it wasn’t for Vietnam Vets taking shit for all those years, this NEW GENERATION of Veterans wouldn’t be treated like they are now.
Hey First Cav thank you, don’t act like we aren’t grateful everyday.
Paul Reichoff has shown on too many occasions that he is more interested in being a celebrity than being an advocate. I used to go to the IAVA site quite a bit and get on the message boards and talk and there were quite a few of us who were pissed when he went on Bill Maher’s show and didn’t say a fucking word to him about all the times he has insulted troops. He just wants to build his own little empire on the backs of young vets.
The reason he’s on the cover….. really? He’s an Iraq veteran himself. Deployed in 2003.
Well, every Republican, Libertarian, Conservative and Tea Partier should end their membership at IAVA right now!!
The majority of the members are Rep, Ind, Libertarian, etc. but the leadership is all Liberals!!!
Do some f-ing research and drop your membership…
