<\/p>\nI know there are some folks at IVAW who truly believe in what they’re doing – who believe that they can make a difference. But history is not on your side. Take a look at who’ve you’ve associated yourselves with;<\/p>\n

I snagged these photos from someone’s Flickr account.<\/p>\n
This is your glimpse at your future. These clowns never accomplished anything in their lives. Ward Reilly is the butt of every joke imaginable – he not only never went to Vietnam, he protested the war by going AWOL nearly a year after combat troops were withdrawn from Vietnam. Bill Perry admitted to me that his testimony at the first Winter Soldier was BS, that the only reason he told that story was to score some hairy-legged hippie chicks. His last remark to me about his actions in Vietnam was “We really kicked ass that day”. <\/p>\n
Mike MacPhearson is trying to make VFP a Democrat Party organization. He wouldn’t cross President Obama if his life depended on it. The same President Obama who just today announced that there’d be no withdrawal from Afghanistan. That kind of runs counter to your whole message, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n
What have they changed? They were successful in making everyone think that all of the veterans who returned from Vietnam were baby killers, dopers and thugs. They gave Hollywood a whole new class of villains for their idiot movies. They probably ruined more lives than PTSD did after that war. That’s your future. And they did it trying to make themselves sympathetic characters for their own selfish reasons. You know people just like them in IVAW and they’re the ones who are leading you over a cliff.<\/p>\n
Some of you went and did what you were ordered to do, but others, for their own selfish reasons, couldn’t summon the testicular fortitude to do the same – and they’re the same people who belittle the job you did. Chiroux calls himself an Afghanistan veteran, and then tells all of you in his secret letter that there are no heroes in this war against terrorism. Don’t you find that a bit hypocritical? Some of you did the right thing – you did your business and then protested. The cowards are protesting so they don’t have to do their business – and they’re hiding behind your service.<\/p>\n
Thirty years from now, you’ll be a punchline like Ward Reilly. If you really care about the troops, if you really want to help, there are so many other things you can do. If you really need help, there are more organizations than IVAW that can give you real help without making you so dependent on the camaraderie of prima donnas who’ll screw you at every turn. I know, because I’ve heard the stories from your membership. I know that it’s like Lord of the Flies sometimes. Join the world of the grown-ups and make lives for yourselves instead of being pawns and propping up the pretty-boys and the geezers who destroyed so many lives of so many others over the last few decades.<\/p>\n
Oh, and to Bill Perry; it was Raoul that had your SUV towed last weekend. That’s funny shit right there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
