if you wanna see the right way to do a celebrity fundraiser for veterans, take a look at what Jay Leno did back in 2014.

the relevant part begins at 18:44, but the whole video is worth a watch if you like the Jay Leno’s Garage series.
This story first appeared in today’s London Daily Mail, and if anything, the details in that are worse than the CNN version. GW Bush does not need money; he made a fortune on the Texas Rangers, gets a huge government pension and office rental allowance yearly, and can get books ghostwritten that will earn him millions. I find his conduct appalling; the man takes money from a charity for grievously wounded veterans in a war he started based on false premises. He should model himself after the Max Fisher family, who endowed a series of veterans welcome home centers across the US and Gene Simmons of the rock band Kiss, who has tirelessly donated his time and gobs of money to returning vets organizations for Iraq and Afghan warriors.
