And much of the grifted monies finds it's way into the political coffers of candidates who then make policy, finding all they need to fund the wars wanted but not fully funding the results of those wars the peoples responsibility the veterans administration as well as grants from for successful private sector veterans programs and same people don't mind as they ignore the issues of the returned veterans, so it's easier for the cons to operate and with little to no threat of regulation, just like the corporate culture and handled by the same pols, federal and state!!
29 August 2013 - Over four years, as increasing numbers of veterans returned home from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a charity called Disabled Veterans Services of Pompano Beach, Fla., reported raising more than $8 million in cash and collecting nearly $4 million in donated goods that it claimed would help disabled and homeless veterans.
But barely a nickel of each dollar the charity raised in cash went directly to help veterans, a News21 analysis shows.
In the years that the country has been at war, Americans have given over $12 billion to veterans’ and military charities. Donations grew nationwide from more than $615 million in 2001 to more than $1.6 billion in 2011 alone.
Federal and state laws demand financial reporting from all charities, but they require little in the way of reporting the results of services the charities claim to provide, the News21 investigation shows. Though many charities offered needed help, others spent much of their money – sometimes most of it – on the organization’s overhead expenses, rather than services promised to veterans. read more>>>
