USN retired

Answer 1

Absolutely!!

Answer 2

I've been a member for 35 years and never gone to a club or meeting, well I take that back. I used to coach VFW baseball and every once in a while we would have an organizational meeting at a VFW club. When I was coming back from Vietnam we had a short presentation about VFW as always being a friendly place where ever we traveled around the USA. I simply don't go to clubs period, more at home in my bunker with the 782 gear of my choosing..

Answer 3

VFW wont be able to do anything without turning it into a circus.

Kokesh is active with the IRR. Yes okay, he's retired-but he's in an unpaid, non-drill status. He could be called up at any time. Since Kokesh is apart if the IRR status, he automatically falls under the UCMJ.

By law, memebers of the IRR are only required to retain possession of their service uniforms, retain their military identification card, and notify their service branch if they move and change their address. Until the day an active member of the IRR is called up, he/she cannot wear their uniform without the proper authorization.

In the end, Kokesh is still apart of the military. Maybe not so much directly as he was before, but for as long as he remains as an active member in the IRR, he will be indirectly associated with the service. Kokesh should have had some common sense not to wear the miltiary uniform to a war protest.

Answer 4

Yes I do love the VFW, because the men and women that are apart of it are "real" Americans that have stood up, stepped forwarded, and raised their right hand to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. The only reason you are sitting in a home right now with all the freedoms you have to say and do as you please are because of these Great Americans and their willingness to sacrifice all. I love the VFW and all the Americans that are members, with out them this would have been a completely different country.

Thank you, to every member of every VFW!!!! You are Americas real and true hero's!!!!!

Answer 5

Hey Marine....Right next to you if you need a hand US Army Desert Storm Vet.....my jarhead friend perhaps we should throw those pussy`s on a c130 and drop em in some third world dictatorship genocide daily country for a few,you think their attitudes would change?...Semper Fi my brother.Now the VFW members may kick it at the bar but those are men from a time when men were men not boys with loud mouths running home to mommas for lunch because she cuts the freakin crust off.

Answer 6

Nah,

Back in the mid to late 80's I was refused entry to our local one. Active Duty AF, Been to the Falklands, Grenada, Beruit, and Chad/Libya and wasn'r eligible. So after desert Storm when I was eligible, I decided that I didn't need to have anything to do with them. They are mired in the Old days of WW II. Remember how long it was before they let Vietnam Vets in? They are old and out of touch.
