I hope that this report is not accurate! Every year at Christmas, I volunteer several hours to ringing a bell in front of a Salvation Army red kettle. Unless this story is disputed, I will forgo my charitable contributions and utilize my time in another pursuit.
They're dispensable hostages, not prisoners of war.
Why punish the SVA for the sins of the Red Cross?
I don’t think that the Red Cross and Salvation Army are the same organization.

One of the good guys. Salvation Army , even if marginally ‘woke’, is truly a charitable organization first, not just a fundraising NGO like Red Cross or Humane Society of America.
Red Cross, HSA, Goodwill, others, are all salaries first paid for leadership and fundraising.
This story has nothing to do with the Salvation Army. It's about the Red Cross, which has been on my feces list since 1973. The Salvation Army joined that list in 2021 when its International Social Justice Commission came out with the infamous Let's Talk About Racism pamphlet which instructed whites to feel guilty for being white. Maybe you feel comfortable donating time and possibly money to such a disgusting organization, but I don't. The Salvation Army can go to hell right along with the Red Cross when it comes to donations of any kind.
The Salvation Army IS NOT the red cross
The Red Cross and the Salvation Army are not the same thing.
SVA and Red Cross are completely different. Red Cross CEO makes $millions. SVA, not so much. Look up on Charity Navigator to see where get the most bang for your buck.
I gave up on the red cross years ago. Money grubbing, self-serving, attention whores...strong message to follow...
Salvation Army is not the Red Cross. I think you can ring with a clear conscience.
