Editor’s note: this post is based in part on reporting by Scott Swett that appeared recently at American Thinker. Imagine this scenario: It is December 31, 1944. American and Allied Forces are in a fierce battle with German troops, who

You might think that a prominent veterans organization like the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) would actually reserve its political endorsements for, you know, veterans, or at least those politicians that actually demonstrate some level of respect for the military.
Duty. Honor. Country. Apparently, the VFW no longer abides by the very virtues our veterans lived and died by. Last week, I wrote a piece on BlackFive.net on the VFW-PAC and their selections across the country for endorsing candidates in

(As with all Sucker Punch Squad reviews, what follows is a review of the script, not the final film – which I’ve not yet seen.) Despite their insistence that Americans “get over” 9/11 even though we’re still at war with
