Kristopher Goldsmith send me your info and suggested that I let you in on why I left IVAW. Here it is: http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/note.php?note_id=83837947235<\/p>\n
I name names. Jacob Flom is a chapter president, and told me at the IVAW national convention last year that he’s a communist using IVAW to recruit veterans to his radical communist ideology. Oh yeah, he was in the air force for a little while after 9\/11 and never left CONUS. He’s not even an Iraq vet. Fucking pathetic.<\/p>\n
Put it out there, add it to your blog, I don’t give a shit.<\/p>\n
By the way, I actually served in Iraq. I got an award for meritorious service out there. I served in the Horn of Africa before that, where I got a previous award for meritorious service. I completed my first enlistment honorably, reenlisted as a Sgt and went into recruiting.<\/p>\n
I ended up getting adsep’ed from the Marines for misconduct. I’m not down on getting hazed by fleet dodging loser career recruiters who’ve been sitting out the war on recruiting duty and then telling folks with combat tours that their previous accomplishments are old business and that they’re worthless unless they feed three bodies every month into the meat grinder. Sales is sales, but the Marine Corps doesn’t see it that way. I had to violate the UCMJ to get out of that hell, so I did.<\/p>\n
Bottom line is that I didn’t take to a fleet dodging MSgt with four ribbons and no combat tours telling me what a Marine is supposed to be any more than I take to Alex Bacon telling me what an Iraq vet is supposed to be.<\/p>\n
I figure I’d put my dirt out there before you have fun with it after some FOIA requests. We have some disagreements, but we’re more alike that unalike.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to judge Chris based on a recruiting assignment -but this Jacob Flom clown attracted my attention. Here’s his profile at IVAW – he never left the US, like Raissi wrote; But Flom is qualified to be Chapter President in Milwaukee. Probably because he has interests outside of IVAW that would be attractive to the ISO clowns of IVAW;

\nYeah, that seems to be the MO of the ISO dorks – they like wearing the “Iraq Veterans” banner on their shirts without having to actually serve in Iraq. Here’s Flom criticizing the troops using his tenuous veteran status, although he never really was one of the troops.
\n<\/a>
\nThe further they are from the war the more absurd their stories. But Flom has the same experienceas IVAW co-founder Tim Goodrich who also never got closer to Iraq than an airconditioned control center on a Turkish Airbase.
