A CNN investigation inspired by CharityWatch article Millions in Future Donations to Vets Charity Will Pay Debt Owed to Vendors reveals further details showing how such a small portion of donations raised by Disabled Veterans National Foundation (DVNF) goes to assist injured veterans. CharityWatch president, Daniel Borochoff, comments about the waste at this and other veterans charities. This follow-up video features veterans charities that have received useless in-kind donations from DVNF, and the group's president refusing to explain why DVNF provides so little aid to veterans. DVNF's responses to CNN take a "bizarre and nonsensical" twist and J.D. Simpson, who operates a shelter serving homeless veterans, says that DVNF diverts much-needed funds away from groups helping veterans in need.

The DAV does not dress up in play clothes pretending to be in the military. We don't stand in the road with buckets and hold out flags or try to get you to feel guilty about not donating. I am with the DAV Auxiliary. I was Chaplain of the Orlando Auxiliary from 2009-2012 and will be the Adjutant and Legislative Rep from now on.
People keep telling me they just donated to the DAV on such and such a road but when I tell them the DAV doesn't collect money that way, they are angry they were taken advantage of. I just want to make sure that no one is still confused. This group has nothing to do with the Disabled American Veterans!
