More on Wounded Warrior Scandal

"The internal culture of the organization is both spendthrifty and bizarre: “Fun” was a key principle that was emphasized to employees. People who worked for the organization were forced to attend team-building exercises twice a month or even more, sources said.
In addition, there was a “cult” feeling within the organization, Millette (the whistle blower) said.
“It’s a brainwashing, in essence… You need to be quiet, do what you’re told, drink the Kool-Aid and parade around with that logo on. It’s cult, it really is… it’s like how you would train a monkey, if you do something give them a piece of candy—in this case you give them a T-shirt or a polo… it’s extreme intimidation,” Millette said."

Basically, the execs treated the funds raised as monies to be spent on "fun" things for themselves and for the Wounded Warriors - trips, excursions, spas, river rafting, cooking lessons, etc.
