I know it takes a lot of publicity to raise money but I was disappointed to learn that Wounded Warriors, that I have supported in the past, only contributes 57.9% of the funds they raise to helping vets and families.

Still, they do raise a lot of money.

When I see a stat like that, I want to know how much the bigwigs get in salary and how luxurious the corporate offices are.

Is this the group that returned the money to a church group because it had been raised ‘for religious purposes’ in violation of certain new codes? If so, I hope they get past this bias against church groups in a few years.

About a decade ago, I gave a nice chunk (for me) to a group that said they fix up laptop computers for injured Vets returning from Iraq/Afghanistan.

That put me on their list.

Twice a week I was getting their mailings, wanting more. Those contents of those mailings got more professional and more costly. Even the returns went from a postage stamp to prepaid FEDEX. FEDEX is not inexpensive.

I returned some of their mailing and asked them to remove my name. It took 3 months and 2 more requests before they finally quit sending stuff.

Back in the early 1970s I got an economic publication. One issue had a list of many of the ‘well known’ major donor organizations and the amounts that actually went to help those in need. For most, the number was pathetically small, but the administrative fees were upwards of 70% or more of the received donations.

They have also openly advocated "gun control." Can't cite a source now, since I threw their request for support away, but I quit giving to them.

Any non-profit that runs t.v. ads as often as WW does must have an awful lot of money. My suspicion is there’s some progressive anti-war organization working here to dumb American down into thinking our veterans are all victims, to be pitied,
