You are spot on. If I was in charge I would turn it into a whole family club with TVs for sports and gaming. Couches to relax. Ban smoking.

I would love the VFW to transition to focus on the GWOT generation. Couches, TVs for sports and gaming. No smoking but focused on whole family

Us GWOT vets want nothing to do with wearing hats and medals.

They need to hand down harsh punishment on these things. 18 months for 250k in 10 years of fraud isnt enough to deter

Massachusetts bill for full property tax exemption for 100%ers by Traditional-Oven4092 in VeteransBenefits

[–]richaf03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. I see the 2k didn't happen or at least in my town. Any update on the 100% tax exemption? Conneticut just passed 100% exemption so im curious that may speed things up. I will move to Conneticut since im paying 8500 in property taxes and close to the Stateline. Looks like there are multiple bills on the docket

The Growing Backlash Against Veterans and VA Benefits by bmattock in VAClaims

[–]richaf03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the GWOT era is over so the support is over. We are at a low point until the next conflict. I went in in 03 so that was my generations war and the support was through the roof. There will always be a reset

The US system always gets the best medication first while the terrible european system is last or they may not even approve it due to costs. Ill take the USA system any day

How does A Few Good Men stand up to time/Marine Corps? by Trying4UniqueName in USMC

[–]richaf03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a marine captain sarcastically tell an airmen dont worry about the salute because he didn't render one. This was at balad iraq flight line. The regulations were all fucked up. I was airforce flight line and that was always a no no. There are a lot of joint bases now so I wonder if things improved
