Vietnam Veteran Foundation head is a VA employee making $127,000, plus his pay as CEO of VVF.

Absolutely. I am not familiar with this organization. If this organization is a scam, they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Absolutely. Additionally, if my memory serves me right, there is a "code of conduct" or some such titled guidelines that Federal employees must adhere to which, if the employee is found to be in violation of, would also be cause for him to be terminated. He should be thoroughly investigated by the criminal justice system and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and a class action lawsuit be pursued in the civil courts by the VVA and anyone else he defrauded. The most sickening part of it all is that he is an employee of the VA.

Just because you work for a non-profit doesn't mean you can't get paid. However, making a steep profit while claiming to assist the down trodden in my eyes should be a prosecutional offense. There is absolutely no accountability.

This is big government taking advantage of us. Obama keep saying that he support veterans, but when come for justice or punishment. He calls for none. As long as no jail time is handed down from this administration. This problem will continue and veterans will paid the ultimate price.

Most definitely. The Wounded Warrior Project top two were caught with their hands in the warriors back pocket.
