Veterans’ Groups Compete With Each Other, and Struggle With the V.A. https://nyti.ms/2RtE9ny
Comparison of the "Big Six" Veterans organizations like the American Legion and VFW with newer ones such as IAVA, Student Veterans and Wounded Warriors. New smaller groups said to be growing 15% per year, traditional ones just 2%. Article suggests younger veterans want veterans posts to be more like community centers. My thought more job training and work space for veterans in transition. What do long standing VSOs need to do to stay relevant for today's veterans?

Would be nice if collectively they all worked together, but try that in Congress and see where it gets you...

Just like there are different members of Congress, there is diversity and differences. The veterans groups are from different generations and their service experiences are not always the same. Political stances can be different because of the dissimilarity.
