My parents too. My father was a fighter pilot in WWII and my mother worked for the FBI. Both of them despised the Red Cross. I can only remember my father swearing when he would see them in the news. My mother said they were corrupt and that she had seen irrefutable evidence.

Three uncles in the Battle of the Bulge - they despised the redcross until their dying day. Acting as a charity when they are anything but

Hating the Red Cross is the litmus test I use to determine if a Conservative is deeply informed or not.

That’s interesting to know. When I was in the first grade, all the kids had boxes to put our pennies in for the red cross. My mother forbade me from participating in it. I didn’t understand why.

Same across my family, and lousy united way. Would never give one cent to either.

I think most vets hate the Red Cross. What’s not to hate?

My Marine Corps drill instructors and my WW 2 combat vet mentor also hated the Red Cross. They have never gotten a cent from me once I learned of their WW 2 shenanigans.

Weird. My dad was in the Navy during WWII. He hated the Red Cross as well. I wonder what they did to piss off so many sailors.

Smart man. Read their history, it’s ugly. They have great PR, but are as radical as they come.
