No worse than how PP spends their money on lavish parties.

I thought this was common knowledge. We researched them like a year or so ago for consideration as one of our main charities to support. After we saw how little of the money they take in actually goes to wounded vets, we passed.


If you are looking for a charity that supports injured veterans, consider Disabled American Veterans (DAV)

DAV.org

My grandfather (WWII Vet) was a life-long member of DAV and even served as a chapter president. Their DAV family events were a highlight of my childhood.

What's absurd is that these charities are even needed.


WWP took in $342MM in 2013, the defense budget that year was around $600 Billion. They could find $400MM in the Pentagon couch cushions if they wanted to. Reminds me of when the Iraq war started after 9/11 troops were making their own armor for Humvees because only the Marine version was armored by the government.

Fox News generates more revenue streams from armed conflicts than you would initially think of.

No wonder a big portion of their fear mongering propaganda is dedicated to the escalation of hostilities on multiple fronts.


FOX is hardly the only news organization to profit from conflict. Look in the mirror, your agenda is showing.
