Ex VFW heads blast Carter move in foreign policy clash
Former national VFW leaders James Cothran and Leslie Fry condemn President Carter for removing Maj. Gen. Singlaub and Lt. Gen. Starry, calling it a disastrous policy move that signals weakness and risks world tension. Fry cites North Korean tunnels and criticizes wartime deserter amnesty while urging stronger military facilitation and regional deterrence. Local Nevada VFW figures say a Las Vegas veteran hospital is unlikely amid VA clinic moves.
