The Red Cross is a civilian organization that is not part of the army and was not, as far as I know, obligated to provide free donuts or coffee.
- jankotek 7y agoArmy asked for it, anyway politics are irrelevant to feelings. Pay was $50 a month, doughnut was 2 cents, that is like 1% paycut.
- traes 7y agoThink of a random cafe offering complementary free donuts to veterans, and then deciding (or being told) to start charging for them. The Red Cross was not a perk provided and paid for by the army. It's really not that outrageous.
