Wounded Warriers---a great charity

[Redfish]

the wounded warriers fund is doing great things for our wounded soldiers when they come home missing arms and legs, mentally damaged, or otherwise in need of help.

We should all support this worthwhile group.

Now, my question. Why isn't the government doing what this charity is doing? Of all the people that the government should help, these should be at the top of the list. Why must a private charity take care of these kids?

Why can we afford to give planes and tanks to the muslim brotherhood in Egypt but not afford to give these wounded heroes everything they need?

This has been bothering me for some time. I would like to know how the rest of you feel about it.

 

[Redfish]

no thoughts on this?

 

[LoneLaugher]

Other than what a tool you are, nope, no thoughts. Oh.....except the thought that we should be grateful that the present administration is doing more for these heroes than the last one did. Especially the part about ending the fucking wars.

Tool.

Tool.

now I remember why I had you on ignore, and will put you back on ignore. You are a partisan idiot and an arrogant fool.

I said nothing about politics in the OP. This question applies no matter who is president. The government should be taking care of these wounded kids, and it is not.

The tool is you--------welcome back to the ignore list.

I hope the kids get help.

 

[Redfish]

I hope the kids get help.

me too. don't you think it would be better for the govt to spend money on helping them than giving weapons to the muslim brotherhood, and giving billions to places like Pakistan?

YES,

We should help our troops and ourselves. Too hell with the middle east.

Here's the only thing that bothers me about the charity - from Wikipedia

According to Charity Navigator, WWP allocates 55 percent of its revenue to program expenses and 44.8 percent to fundraising and administrative expenses. [3] From Charity Navigator Rating - Wounded Warrior Project

I would like to see a lot more go directly to the families.

However, as another poster pointed out, these are things the government through the VA should be doing. However, our present administration is doing everything it can to take away from veteran's programs to push the socialist programs of Obama.

I agree that it is a great charity. Too bad Hannity didn't keep his word and do the waterboarding for that charity. I expect a LOT of money would have been raised by that event.

I feel quite sure that Hannity gives a lot more to WWP and other worthwhile charities than you do.

Nope.......Veterans their programs and volunteering to help them are high on my list....This is what the current administration is doing and has done..."the Obama administration next week will propose spending $63.5 billion for veterans services in fiscal 2014, asking for a 4 percent increase over current spending.

The money is targeted at eliminating the backlog of veterans claims for benefits and increasing mental health services, including treatment for military sexual trauma. The budget proposal, which will not be officially unveiled until next week, also will make permanent two tax credits to encourage employers to hire veterans.

Since 2009, the overall budget, including mandated programs and discretionary spending, has risen from about $100 billion in 2009 to $140 billion this year, an increase of about 40 percent. The VA's discretionary spending this year is roughly $61 billion."

It takes individuals like you and me to assist in these efforts as well through giving of time, money or in other ways.

true and great, but my point remains valid. The government should be doing everything these kids need, but its not.

my thoughts? thats what Americans do, contary to what democrats say, we give because we want too, the goverment should not be involved with charity cases, private charitys run better then any government program.

I am surprised it isn't higher than that. Now that bothers me, too.

Well, he has more to give. But I will tell you this...I give to Navy Relief every year...and I give in in Hannity's name.....until he finally mans up and keeps his word.

Yes, that is what Americans do, but these guys and gals received these injuries under their enlistments and I don't feel with really give them adequate support after for those that have experienced the violence.

they used to be

then they became political

and started advocating gun control

 

[PaulS1950]

The wounded warrior foundation advocates keeping guns out of the hands of these soldiers.
WTF? We entrusted these people with guns and equipment to fight a war but now they want to deny then the right to defend themselves?
This is one foundation that I will not support until they support the rights of these soldiers according to the constitution.
