I haven't donated to Wounded Warrior for one simple reason: the government should be caring for us veterans, not the generosity of people who believe they're helping. And now I'm glad I didn't send them any money. Seems the charity is about as good at not spending on their cause as Susan B. Komen's Walk for the Cure.
Two sets of investigative journalists ran two separate investigations into the "charity" and both found the same results: WWP spends over a hundred million dollars a year on their own parties rather than running lean and helping veterans wounded in selective wars.
