Disgraceful


Retired U.S. Army Gen. Tommy Franks, who led the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, was paid $100,000 to endorse a veterans charity that watchdog groups say is ripping off donors and wounded veterans by using only a small portion of the money raised for veterans services, according to testimony in Congress today.

I don't care that this "charity" turned out to be anything but. What the hell is a retired general doing taking money from ANY organization that purports to help veterans? If he REALLY cared about the military members a charity is supposed to help, he'd endorse it for nothing.

Disgraceful.
