CBS News investigation: How is Wounded Warrior Project spending donations?
Americans donate hundreds of millions of dollars each year to the charity, expecting their money will help some of the 52,000 wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But CBS News found Wounded Warrior Project spends 40 to 50 percent on overhead, including extravagant parties. Other veterans charities have overhead costs of 10 to 15 percent.
Wounded Warrior Project's Chief Executive Officer, Steven Nardizzi, and Chief Operating Officer, Al Giordano, were fired after a meeting Thursday afternoon in New York.

Sorry I have zero sympathy for these goons. They take donations meant to help wounded warriors away for there own comfort. They need more than fired.

PO2 Mark Saffell as a hockey fan I take exception to you grouping these crooks in with goons. Goons serve a purpose. They protect the stars so they can score goals. They slow down the pace of the game with a good timely brawl. They entertain the fans. All these guys did was steal (since we are calling it like it is) money that was donated to help veterans.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs Nice that they closed the barn, now if they had just done it before the horses left... A very sad case of a noble idea that has been reduced to a farce by poor leadership and poor decisions. Now instead of being that great organization helping veterans, they are viewed as a bloated bureaucracy that has lost site of its mission. Just really sad.

Yes, but too little too late. Where were they while the fraud was going on. They should all resign.
