DVA-WHAT ELSE COULD GO WRONG?

Posted on June 3, 2015 by asknod

That question must ricochet around 810 Vermin Ave. NW day in and day out. If it isn’t someone with a conscience and an ax to grind filing a Whistleblower claim, it’s some unnerving revelation that the boys in Denver have … Continue reading →

Posted on May 28, 2015 by asknod

I’m beginning to see a groundswell of disgruntled Veterans contacting me after my prolonged Extraordinary Writ series from January through March. All contain one thread-delay, denial, misconstrual. In a word, all that VA has always been famous for coming on … Continue reading →

MEMORIAL DAY 3–LZ CORK AND THE CONTINUING FALLOUT

Posted on May 23, 2015 by asknod

When I first wrote about LZ Cork and the adventures of Butch Long, I never expected to hear from anyone else who survived it. A different war, Vietnam conjoined soldiers from all over on an as-needed basis. Thus, from the … Continue reading →
