Hope that it will do some good but, don't hold your breath, remember the "Bonus Marchers"...
Get too vocal and see how you get "branded"...
I mean, when has it ever worked before?...

Subliner81, we're talking IAVA, not IVAW. We don't act like a pack of anarchist monkeys in public.

Ok so he is going to educate the G on what they already are aware of. Bottom line - What's his solution that he is bringing to give to them?

Didn't say you did but, then neither did the Bonus Marchers and look what McArthur did to them, tanks, gas, bayonets and the torch!...

One of the benefits of an all volunteer military is that it's really hard to end a war through public opinion.

We'd still be in Vietnam if the Army were all volunteer in the 60's and 70's.

He's right though Sunliner.

They're likely doing it now because they think there are people there who will listen. After all, Shinseki is now the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

Didn't say that he was or wasn't but, he threw out a line, on a controversial subject, just to see who would take the bait...

yea a lot of that around here./...

There are some good thing starting to happen for OEF/OIF Vets. Two former members of the Oregon National Guard Reintegration Program have been hired as congressional veterans/military advisors. These are the folks that will have congress' ear. That is a good thing! Not earth shattering, but a good thing.

The timing is good, there'll be no 'patriots' to call you 'traitor'.
