Fuck the veterans - Tommy got his cut

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.

Gen. Franks' involvement was revealed as members of Congress questioned Roger Chapin, who operates Help Hospitalized Veterans and the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes Foundation, charities that congressional investigators say spend only 25 percent of the money they raise on projects for wounded veterans.
Tommy Franks, probably the worst General in U.S. history, but recipient of the Medal of Freedom from the worst President in history nonetheless, is still screwing the military and its veterans.

But he's a Republican so what did you expect?

Demand that Franks give that $100,000 to those who deserve it!
