They donated less than something like 0.1% of their revenue to actual wounded warriors - way less than the minimum required by the IRS to call yourself a charity. The rest went to executive salaries and advertising.

that a group like that has to exist!
Our fine congressmen (of course, led by Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld!) that sent those soldiers into harm's way should be covering what these ads claim groups like this need to do to help make better the lives of the returning soldiers!
But, NO, they cut budget on the broken legs, arms, and backs of these brave warriors, but sure as hell make sure the 1% gets their tax cuts so they can "grow the economy!"
