support Wounded Warriors?

Prior to volunteering these men and women had all their legs, all their arms and most importantly, all their dreams intact. An IED, a mortar round or a sniper's bullet changed all that. Combat does that also.

So again I ask my question: Why doesn't the organization that creates Wounded Warriors support Wounded Warriors? Why must charities take care of Wounded Warriors?

In spite of the above sentiment I am all for supporting Wounded Warriors; I just think the burden should fall elsewhere.
