.... "they doth protest too loudly"

There has been a whole lot of screaming in Washington this week by the various Veterans Service Organizations (VSO's), like the VFW, American Legion, DAV, ...  The disappointing surprise is that the loud complaints aren't about Obamanation, Shinseki, or the Veterans Administration's poor service criminally poor service of military veterans over the last few years...

Unbelievably, these VSO's and their leadership have been venting their anger at Senator Richard Burr (R-NC), who had the temerity to point out that these self same VSO leadership teams have been very quiet in the face of this most recent scandal.  Yep, they are madder at Burr and his utterances then they are at the VA and it's failures...    

As reported in Politico,com,  the VFW chief said Monday that Burr should be ashamed of his conduct.  And also reported on by Redstate.com, they pointed out that it appears likely that the senior career staffers of these VSO's are more concerned with their status and access in DC then they are about the dues paying vets of their organization.

Kinda reminds yer ole' host here - of the modern day union hierarchy in this country, who are less concerned with member's benefits.... and more concerned with numbers of members and dues income for the unions.  

Every time I hear a high ranking member of a volunteer organization verbalizing their altruistic bullshit, I pray for somebody to release the travel, lodging, food and entertainment expense accounts of these folks.  There are the no benefits volunteers (usually at the local level) and then there are the other volunteers.

These VSO officers and careerists fall in the latter category.  

I could rant on here, this is not a new topic for me - but if you'll click on those two links above, you'll get the picture!!

Any time you think are looking at a totally caring and volunteer outfit -- think AARP, and the billion$ they are making off their sweetheart deal with the current POTUS  by supporting Obamacare.....   then think again!
