Then this morning, one of our new readers, Debbie, verified it for me.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d talked on the phone for an hour yesterday with another recent IVAW refugee  who told me some things about Zachary that made me think of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=8723\">Ward Reilly<\/a>. Here&#8217;s what I know so far;<\/p>\n<p>Zachary was in the Marine Corps from 1968 &#8211; 1970 and somehow avoided Vietnam Those of you were in the service at the time know how hard that would have been to pull off. <\/p>\n<p>Publicly, Zachary says that he was a conscientious objector, but privately he brags that he was just a derelict that the Marines finally booted out because they were tired of his antics. Several former members of IVAW have told me that they suspect he steals from every cause he touches. He doesn&#8217;t seem interested in many of IVAW and VFP&#8217;s projects until he smells a fund-raising opportunity that he can loot.<\/p>\n<p>A few of the folks at the &#8220;Under the Hood&#8221; cafe in Killeen, TX tell me that he has insinuated himself into their projects without invitation as soon as they became successful and Zachary smelled money. It sounds like Ward Reilly cloned. Remember <a href=\"http:\/\/sweetness-light.com\/archive\/cindys-lawyer-is-a-fake-vietnam-vet\">Reilly looted the VFP&#8217;s funds meant for Katrina victims<\/a>. Well, it seems that Zachary is similarly motivated.<\/p>\n<p>Another IVAW refugee told me that they think that Zachary is violent and that&#8217;s why no one in VFP, VVAW or IVAW will confront him on his malfeasance. I&#8217;ve found evidence of his violence, actually, which I&#8217;ll save for the final edit of the story.<\/p>\n<p>So, since Zachary doesn&#8217;t have the large presence on the internet that others we&#8217;ve investigated here, anyone that has more information, preferably something that can be corroborated, or if you want to corroborate what I&#8217;ve I&#8217;ve already discovered, drop me a note. Apparently, Zachary has no friends in IVAW, or VFP, for that matter and we&#8217;ll probably be doing a favor for the troops by rolling up this clown &#8211; who, by the way, seems to be a Carl Webb acolyte &#8211; well, until tomorrow when he learns the truth about Webb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While we&#8217;re all waiting for the newest Carl Webb post to publish tomorrow morning (it&#8217;s all &hellip; <a title=\"Information on Doug Zachary needed\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=11096\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Information on Doug Zachary needed<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,30,52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ivaw","category-phony-soldiers","category-usual-suspects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11096\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
