Kristofer Goldsmith, Chief Investigator and Associate Director for Policy and Government Affairs for Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA), released a report on Tuesday outlining persistent, pervasive, and coordinated online targeting of American service members, veterans, and their families by foreign entities who seek to disrupt American democracy.
Vietnam Veterans of America’s (VVA) began the two-year investigation, beginning in August 2017, that showed American veterans and the social-media followers of several congressionally chartered veterans service organizations were specifically targeted by the Russian Internet Research Agency with at least 113 ads during and after the 2016 election.
