We must read their intents differently, as I indicated when I said "Just my .02, I am sure that others feel differently."

Several of us here corresponded with them after they selected Hillary to be their keynote speaker at their Veteran's Day fundraiser last year, and were dissatisfied with their response, or lack thereof.

My involvement with them and their hierarchy during my time at USSOCOM left me somewhat ambivalent about their operation as well.

Finally, call me selfish, but I want my donations going to the families of SF fallen, and there is no current shortage of them.

Note that I am not telling anyone else what to do with their money, and I will do as I wish with mine. Clearly, we will have to agree to disagree on this one.

Appreciate you stating your opinion and I respect that.
