Poorly Written
On top of the prior tag of this article presenting itself as a advert, I added the "inappropriate person" tag due to the opening passage of the article using "our"; it's tone incorrectly assumes the person reading the article is from the USA. I would also argue the factuality of the article in general (no citations) and it's implied bias. In general this article needs a massive rewrite. Keithieopia (talk) 16:16, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * All the material of my above gripes have been removed, however now the article lacks notability and is incomplete. Thus, I have added these tags to the article. Keithieopia (talk) 21:06, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Non partisan? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.24.130.60 (talk) 09:08, 20 June 2009 (UTC) They claim to be the largest Iraq and Afghanastan war wets organization, but anyone can join by simply fillin out a form. I "joined" claiming to be an OIF Veteran, but I'm not. There's no requirement to prove Veteran status, let alone OEF/OIF Veterans. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.79.9.16 (talk) 22:14, 1 July 2009 (UTC) It looks like a press release to me.85.160.12.91 (talk) 09:48, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I was reading another entry and clicked on a link leading me to this entry. And I must say, this entry is absolutely horrible. The section concerning the Board of Directors reads like it was taken from directly from the group's website.74.138.40.147 (talk) 22:36, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

The Board of Directors section is also out of date, but the only information I can actually find is on the IAVA website. Could the section just be removed entirely due to lack of verifiable information? Abovethestorm (talk) 00:15, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Glenn Beck's personification as a Communist Front Group
Last week, a caller to the Glenn Beck program said that she was invited to march with IAVA on Veteran's Day, and gushed about how well she and other marchers were treated -- a banquet, etc. However, she "did some research" afterwards, and "found out that it was funded by George Soros / MoveOn.org."

The radio host then went into a lengthy dissertation about its Communist tactics, ending with...

Thank you so much for standing guard against these communists masquerading as a veterans organization, that are using you for their communist purposes. Thank you for standing guard against these communists who are duping you; these communists over at Iraq and Afghanistan's of America.

Here's a clip of Rachel Maddow discussing the event on her program: http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/rachel-maddow-tells-glenn-beck-leave-iava-
