Posted on November 16, 2015 by asknod

Posted on November 15, 2015 by asknod

BVA–JETGUN WIN IN ST. LOUIS

Posted on October 23, 2015 by asknod

Here’s one of those classic examples of Johnny Vet subtly driving his own claimboat with the DAV as his titular head honcho. I’m sure they think they drove a hard bargain but it mostly reflects the fact that Regional Offices … Continue reading →

BVA–WHY VETS WILL NEVER ‘GET’ THERE

Posted on October 13, 2015 by asknod
