How about considering that these people are running a charity for disabled veterans, and they make more than everyone in the US government except for the POTUS himself.
If that is their degree of committment and empathy, I wish they would go run a for-profit.
Their right to draw that kind of salary makes me a lot less likely to donate to their causes, particularly when there are other comparable charities with far lower overhead doing the same work.
