I do not know if this question has been addressed before, It would seem to me that we would have heard more from VFW/Legion over some questions. Could have demanded that BOTH Bush and Kerry release their complete military records from the DOD.

Sugesting that BOTH Kerry and Bush release their military records by signing a DOD for 180 is hardly parstian politics. We should make it an issue even if Kerry is defeated we should kill the head of the snake and much of the LEFTHEAD tail will die with it.

Both organizations are staunchly apolitical. This is stated on their webpages. This is also why I will never belong to either one. With respect to Kerry, his service record, and his repeated, deplorable denunciations of American service members, it isn't politics...

IT'S PERSONAL!

I am aware that President Bush has released his records, I would like a Veterains organization to request the release of records for both men.

Both candidates appeared before just about every major veterans organizations earlier this year. Since they claim non-partisan status, this is acceptable (even if barely). What bothers me is that many attending these functions remained seated listening to Traitor Kerry. Only a few were man enough to stand and turn their backs to him.

To me, this would have been the ideal time for them to make an issue out of both candidates releasing all of their records. All Bush had to do was say all of his were authorized for release. Kerry maintains, rather craftily, that he has released all the records, "that have been made available to him." He then ignores requests for him to sign the SF 180 thereby keeping up to about 100 pages of possibly damaging records hidden from public view.

I had dropped my American Legion membership a few years ago and was ready to fill out the membership application for the VFW, until I saw this. VVA was never even considered for membership, by me.

I fail to see any partisanship from either group had they asked each candidate to release all of their records, either by signing the SF 180 or by making a Presidential order. That the leftstream viewspapers and views media have never pressed this issue is way beyond disappointing. I see it as pure outright election manipulating, hiding pertinent data from the voters that should have been public months ago. Evil or Very Mad

We should carry this through, we should hound him even after he loses to release his complete military records. Kill the head and much of the tail will die.

So I guess the NAACP doesn't qualify as a tax exempt organization prohibited from endorsing candidates? And subject to the same rules ats anyone else?

That must be why they are claiming that they are being singled out by the IRS for "Bush bashing?"

Oh, I forgot, most rules and reason doesn't apply to certain organizations or protected classes.

I see NO reason, political, funding, cowardice or OTHERWISE that this issue could not be pursued by any DECENT Veterans' Service Organization.

I think "quitting" before anyone has approached them is FOOLISH.

And, rather UN-Veteran like....!!!

Nalt, you are right on the money!!!

The VFW and American Legion had a chance to make a real difference.

A change could have been made in the by-laws, in light of the huge discrepancies between the Kerry myth and the Kerry reality.

It would have been worth it to lose a few members, to stand up for truth - and more importantly, for the defense of this great country.
