Found this in the twitter account of the girl who is going to stir up shit on Detroit that has recently been banned bt AVFM from entering the premises where the event will be hosted (wise move, AVFM!):

The Department of Defense Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military (2012) offers the sobering reality that is the high prevalence of sexual assault in our armed services. Research also suggests that male veterans who spent time on combat tours are more than four times as likely to engage in domestic violence. The National Council on Child Abuse and Family Violence concluded that combat veterans were more than four times as likely to have abused a partner and more than six times as likely to experience PTSD, and two to three times as likely to suffer from depression, substance abuse, unemployment and separation. I offer this statistical reality to illustrate the seriousness of the VFW partnering with an organization that is known to advocate violence.

You can't make this shit up. Surely calling veterans wife beaters is the way to go to make them change their mind about the conference.
