13. Thom Hartmann has been criticizing the Wounded Warrior Project
Sun Mar 6, 2016, 12:06 PM
Mar 2016

for many weeks.

Not only has Thom criticized the lavish salaries and the high overhead of this group but Thom points out that our government should be responsible for such services--not private charities.

He also has repeatedly said that our best response (by far) to the issue of wounded soldiers is to stop sending them into unnecessary conflicts.

And now Sec of Defense Ash Carter wants to employ the National Guard in the fight against ISIS.

Maybe Doonesbury will get a chance to draw more cartoons on this topic.

Go Bernie!
