I have become a much bigger fan of truly local charities, where I personally know the people doing the work. The wounded Warrior commercials are gut-wrenching, but I have to ask how much they are spending on a three minute commercial EVERY night during The Five?
Interesting you cite WWP. I personally have seen the results they get via wounded vets at the Pentagon, and they are staffed by good people with big hearts. But I too wonder about the regular tear-jerker ads. Those ads have an awful lot in common with similar ads for abused animals, impoverished kids and Jews, etc. worthy causes all, no doubt; but why do they all want $19 a month in return for some advertising trinket like a blanket?
