Calling VoteVets.Org! Excuse me, but do you read your email? And, more importantly, do you care?

As a Vietnam era vet with nearly twenty-two years of service and coming from a military family with a very long history of service over several generations I’ve grown weary of being ignored by votevets.org and every other organization that apparently only seek contributions and nothing more. Iraqi and Afghani vets aren’t the only ones with grievances to redress and the former commissioned officers who front votevets.org (this being stated by the son of a combat 0-6) aren’t the only ones articulate enough or capable enough to plead the broader case of all veterans.

If I seem angry it is because I am. If I appear insulted let there be no doubt. Votevets.org is but an organization that proclaims to speak for all veterans yet narrows its voice to those who’ve served during the most recent “sandboxes” and ignores the voices of veterans such as myself as evidenced by my multiple communications that have been met without so much as a f**k off. Perhaps a cashier’s check through the postal service with at least three zeroes before the decimal point might receive a response.

This is why we, as veterans, can’t completely bring down the service-evading, flag-draped “Christian” conservatives that have sent us into war for their own self-serving goals. It is because we fragment ourselves believing that one group of us, as veterans, have been violated, abused or more important than another.

A response will prove me right or full of s**t. Well?

21-50. Out.
