Why would membership in one preclude membership in the other? It’s an earnest question, I don’t know anything about either organization, but didn’t find anything relevant in their Wikipedia pages

Essentially there is no real reason you can’t, it’s just kind of redundant.
I wasn’t trying to be a jerk either, just not sure why.
Both require dues and both provide the same services.
(One is for service members who fought in a foreign war, the other is for service members who didn’t fight in foreign wars.
Why not both?
Typically VFW is for veterans who fought and American Legion is for service members who didn’t fight.
I guess there is no real reason why you can’t join both, but it’s like joining two car wash clubs.
