CNN reports Two other veterans' groups also distanced themselves from Trump's announcement.
The Wounded Warrior Project said it was not aware of the candidate conducting any fundraising efforts on its behalf.
Meanwhile, VoteVets.org, which calls itself the nation's largest progressive veterans group, issued a statement titled: "Don't hide from Megyn Kelly behind us."

Why on Earth would the Veterans Groups refuse money from Trump? He has spent his entire campaign praising Vets and promising to be the one who finally stops the corruption in the VA.
Could that possibly be the problem that the leaders of these vet groups have with Trump? That he's going to stop the gravy train?
I have seen him give speeches to Vet groups (even on retired battleships) and they are there by the thousands cheering for him.
Doesn't make any sense (except political) for the heads of these Veteran Groups to decline money to HELP them.
Pure political insanity.
