typical slick operation. Everyone Ive met involved with WW is a Hawk - they work hard to get the soldiers blown up then have tea parties to buy them wheelchairs and colostomy bags when they return. Of course the organizers have to meet at luxury resorts to decide the best way to spend what is left over on the vets.

Bush never bothered to pay for his tax cuts nor for all the limbs he arranged to have blown off in far away lands for no reason at all. This after sending troops out in vehicles with no armor to protect against IED's. Heck, the family's of troops in the field had to mail them cans of Silly String so they could locate and disarm booby traps. That's what "Semper Fi" means to Republicans.

Not a surprise and organizations (Tough Mudder is a good example) that use WWP in their marketing donate pennies.

What would you folks recommend as a reputable alternative, all I can think off is DAV.

Semper Fi fund has pretty decent credentials. I think 90% gets out the door. Check Charity Navigator for details.

I am calling for an open audit of WWP: https://www.change.org/p/steve-nardizzi-we-demand-accountability-of-wounded-warrior-project?recruiter=492135622&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink

Instead of an audit, I think we should look to other charities that are better run, already focused and less corrupt.

Sorry Fred sometimes it's easier to throw away than fix
