Showing Original Post only (View all)Just cancelled my VFW membership [View all]
How about you??
Here's what I wrote on their website:
I served 30 years as a Navy Mustang Officer, retiring in 2012. I have been a member of the VFW since 2013.
To say I was disappointed by that rediculous display of Trump speaking today in Missouri would be an understatement. You allowed a complete moron to use veterans as his scrotum polishers.
I never thought I would be ashamed of veterans, but that display today finally did it.
I am contacting EVERY veteran in my circle and am urging them to drop their VFW membership, or not join if not a current member.
Your national leadership should resign immediately.
Please remove me from your mailing list and follow the advice of Donald Trump and go eff yourselves
