Apparently, they&#8217;ve taken in over 55 million bucks in donations and almost nothing has gone to actually helping veterans according to their IRS filings. And the money they have spent on veterans&#8217; groups was almost useless;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;They sent us 2,600 bags of cough drops and 2,200 little bottles of sanitizer,&#8221; J.D. Simpson told CNN. &#8220;And the great thing was, they sent us 11,520 bags of coconut M&#038;M&#8217;s. And we didn&#8217;t have a lot of use for 11,520 bags of coconut M&#038;M&#8217;s. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Simpson said the DVNF also sent him more than 700 pairs of Navy dress shoes, which he said he can&#8217;t use<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>CNN obtained the bill of lading for that shipment, which showed that, among other things, hundreds of chefs coats and aprons were included in the delivery, along with a needlepoint design pillowcase and cans of acrylic paint. The goods listed in the two-page shipping document were things &#8220;we don&#8217;t need,&#8221; a US Vets spokesman said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As we&#8217;ve shown here at TAH, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=25912\">IVAW<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=25795\">IAVA<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=28815\">VoteVets<\/a>, trading on veterans&#8217; reputations is big business. Know who you&#8217;re giving your money to, and sometimes the traditional route is the best way to get money where it&#8217;s needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN is finally doing something useful with it&#8217;s investigations &#8211; like busting the Disabled Veterans National &hellip; <a title=\"CNN busts phony vet charity\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=29859\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">CNN busts phony vet charity<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[155],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-shitbags"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29859\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
