One would think that it does not need to be said. Not all veterans are honorable. From Benedict Arnold, to Lee Harvey Oswald, to Jack Ruby, to Nidal Hasan we see cases of veterans who do not deserve to be honored.

Veteran's Day is about honoring those veterans who served honorably, but we should not allow those who have been dishonorable to infiltrate our ranks under the guise of "political correctness".

The VFP is not a veterans' organization. Anyone who makes that claim is either lying, or mis-informed. They allow non-veterans and they are heavily aligned with organizations like Code Pink and other anti-military groups.

The VFP is a political organization. They have a political aim, and its not simply "for peace" but rather, "against the use of the US Military".

Just today, a letter from Ed Scotten, a VFP member, claims that our military troops are used for "an illegal and unnecessary occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and the accompanying slaughter of hundreds of thousands of mostly innocent victims of this senseless bloodshed."

One can discern the political nature of the VFP by investigating their political affiliations. Not surprisingly, the most outspoken members of the VFP also happen to be writing letters in support of only liberal causes and the Democrat Party, and writing letters opposing conservatives and Republicans.

The VFW, on the other hand, is honestly a veteran's organization. They allow only veterans who served honorably, and have people from all political parties and persuasions.

We have been duped into allowing the VFP under threat of a lawsuit, and in the name of political correctness. We should not honor them any more than we would honor other veterans who proved dishonorable.

I will be turning my back on them. The VFW should NEVER allow political groups into the parade again.
