I gave the Red Cross a second chance (after their 9-11 fiasco) and donated
to them for hurricane relief.

I will never, EVER donate to the Red Cross.

After what they did to the troops in Vietnam and all the fiascos over
the years including charging me for my own blood donation, the lying
scheming *******s will never get a dime from me for anything.

I donate to the Salvation Army only. At least I know my money will be
put to good use.

Hell, I really appreciated the Red Cross visits in Vietnam!


Their gals were turning tricks in the bunkers for $50 a throw, gave
half my platoon the clap, took four weeks to get a message to me about
my grandmother dying, charged $1 a donut and .50¢ a glass of warm kool
aid at a forward fire base - oh yeah, they are terrific organization.

Then to add insult to injury, three years ago when I had an operation,
I re-donated two pints prior to the operation which the Red Cross
cheerfully put to other uses and when I needed a transfusion to cover
the loss of blood, the *******s charged me for it. Their
justification was that my blood was needed elsewhere.

They are a giant scam operation, nothing more, nothing less.

We finally kicked their sorry asses out of the blood collection business
in Canada. The *******s were passing out tainted blood without testing
almost a year after the US tested for Hep. C. Coat the Cdn gov't
millions in reparations to infected receivers.
