Non Profits for veterans are needed, set up not to enrich those execs running, way to many aren't, like the re-active, not pro-active, National Veterans' Groups especially, but to help what the greater majority served don't do as to their responsibility, the VA, are great and with dedicated individuals, but they are a Cheap Way for the Served to call themselves patriotic as they wave those flags and condemn others for what they perceive they aren't, the political!!
Many are used as marketing scheme's to further corporate profits with donations or costs built in and skimmed from to boost those bottom lines for investors and execs of.
They also have to fight each other, unintentional and costly especially for any real organizations, in raising the relatively scarce funding from but the few to function as they hope to do and stay successful!!
The budgets for the VA, the people served responsibility, are passed under deficits which are debt with interest payments so are mostly borrowed as they have been greatly under funded for decades, and the wars from, instead of well maintained agencies! While being attacked by the political ideology seeking to privatize for corporate profit at the public till!
Congress, in Veteran Marchbanks statement, are the people served and who representatives work for, or are supposed to!
