Does anyone think the Wounded Warrior Project has just become a self-serving moneymaker?

Lately the WWP has been making headlines but, not for charity. First under fire for their high overhead and huge salaries, then for bullying a smaller charity and now for selling their donor's information. I haven't heard anything good about WWP and from what I have seen unless they can turn a press release or put a logo on it they aren't really all that interested in it. Has anyone had any good experiences with them?

I just came across this article: http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/12/08/wounded-warriors-project-a-legal-scam/
It talks about how everything they do is contracted out and the officers each have a salary of 100k - 300k. It also talks about how out of all the funds that are donated only ~10% reach the wounded warriors.
This really bothers me because I know my wife and I have done fundraisers and donated to the WWP. Does this affect how you will donate? or where you will donate? Do you actually research the non-profits that you donate to?
I know I dont, but this will definitely make me start.
As we are coming to find out, wounded Vets are big money. Considering I'm 146% disabled, I'm trying to figure out how to tap into this.
