[Politically Correct]

"Wounded Warrior" charities take in 95% of the donations for themselves and only give 5% to any of the wounded warriors.

Wounded Warriors gives to vets and spouses 84% of the contrbutions.

Check your facts befor you rant.

Ok, the facts: the Wounded Warrior charity is better than most of the rest of the so-called charities but according to the 2008 data at the Better Business Bureau, they took in $42M but only used $9M for warrior programs: $10M was for their own support and $22M was for "public awareness". 21% for the actual charitable work is good compared to most of these "veteran's charities".

You are correct that my figures were wrong for the Wounded Warriors - The 95% figure I used came from my investigation of the Vietnam Veterans of Virginia who are out and out scum. Most of the money contributed to them and hundreds of charities like them go to telemarketing scammers like Xentel. All the same, despite the heart-wrenching TV ads for Wounded Warriors, the lion's share of donated money goes to the charity executives and for more marketing.

If you care about our veterans, much better to visit them yourselves or contribute directly to the Association of the US Army or the Navy-Marine Corps Association or the Air Force Associations' charities.
