I read today that he is forming a coalition of Veterans and Jesse Ventura is joining them.

(AP) - Former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura will participate in a conference call next week to help launch a new group called Operation Truth, an organization being created "to give voice to troops who served in Iraq."
The New York-based group is holding its official launch party and fundraiser Wednesday, according to its website, paulrieckhoff.com.
According to the website: "Operation Truth will educate the American public about the truth of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan from the perspective of the soldiers who have experienced them firsthand. We will provide returning veterans with national, regional and local podiums from which they will expose the preventable hardships that they endured as a result of failures at the top levels of leadership."
It also says the group plans to publicize how "poorly planned policies and approaches have manifested themselves as problems on the front lines and back at home."
Joining Ventura on Tuesday's conference call will be Paul Rieckhoff, an infantry platoon leader in Iraq and the founder of the organization, and Bobby Muller of the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation. Ventura is a naval veteran. <snip>
Wasn't Bobby Muller the basis of the Tom Cruise movie "Born on The Fourth of July"?
