I'm talking about Disabled American Veterans.

I'm talking about Paralyzed Veterans of America.

It's the funny hats crowd, yes.

And I respect them, their service, all of that.

but they don't serve the interest of their members.

It's just like the unions.

Like when you go, why does Donald Trump have overwhelming support from union members, but yet the union bosses keep endorsing Joe Biden?

It's because they don't actually reflect at some point in Washington, DC, the interests of their members.

They lose touch with the interest of their members because it becomes about perpetuation.

And so I've worked with, I'm a member of the Legion in my hometown of Forest Lake, Minnesota.

Post-225.

Like, you know, I signed up right after I got back from my first tour.

And I, but I don't have any affinity for it other than that.

And it's not, I know that in Washington, D.C., they're not actually trying to fight for reform or real overhaul at the VA.

They just have a, they have a seat at the table and they like that seat.

But you're exactly right.

They don't have any power except in Washington.

In Washington, they still have a lot of power.

You know why?

Because they'll put out press releases.
