This report is not yet fully confirmed. But numerous other blogs are reporting on this. And BlackFive is a very respected and reliable blog.

Here it is from milblog BlackFive.net:

Last night, we received an interesting email from Bev Perlson, who heads the Band of Mothers group. She's got an awesome email list that is good for keeping up on what's going on around the country.

What was so disturbing was the email listed someone we all know- LTC(r) Allen West, and how the VFW, of all people, THE VEE-EFF-FRICKING-W, was ENDORSING HIS OPPONENT.

You read that right.

His opponent? Democrat Ron Klein. WHO HAS NEVER SERVED IN UNIFORM.

You read THAT right, too.

People, I've been pissed before. Mad, even. Upset. But this? THIS is treasonous to me. For a 'so called' veterans organization to pick a NON-SERVING, NON-VETERAN over one of the MOST PROMISING veterans running in politics is heinous. Disturbing. And shows just how far off-track the VFW has become.

I am a longtime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, having served numerous tours in the Persian Gulf in the early 1980s at the height of the Iran/Iraq War.

If this report proves fully true, I will have no problem resigning my membership, as I'm sure tens of thousands of other patriotic Vets around the Nation will promptly do the same.

Time for an alternative Veterans group that's truly patriotic and supports Vets first!
