Now, it's no secret that I don't like Ollie North. I think tht the Corps didn't drum him out in disgrace is a black mark on them (my father, who was in the Corps, well let's just say that my feelings about North are practically lovey-dovey compared to his).
But this seems to be a new low. Using people's support for the dependents of dead soldiers to skim off huge amounts of money to themselves, and to further political agendas is stooping to the level of whale shit.
It's not that I begrudge them raising money for causes (or even themselves) but they are lying to people about where the money goes, and using dead troops to soak them for the money.
