Radio Station Promotion: Troops=Charity Cases?

I don't get it. How does 100 freeloaders going down to a San Diego country music concert on a bus help some charity that supposed to give scholarships to orphans of US troops? How's that raise money? I see these camo dressed troops in Walmart, pulling out there food stamps, why don't the send them to the concert for free?

I wonder how much money actually goes for scholarships anyway?
 
It helps the same way thousands and thousands of people driving to a "Global Climate Crisis Concert" helps that cause. It really doesn't. Oh, I forgot, it's supposed to raise awareness. "We don't really have to do something, just make it look like we care."

KXNT thinks they look cool for tying in with supporting the troops, we all listen and think they're cool. But nothing actually really happens. But everything looks cool.. And maybe a few 100 dollar scholarships get awarded around the country. Then the people making a 100K plus a year "organizing" the fund raisers and "administering" the charities are all cool cause they are "trying" to help.

Then, when all is said and done, we can turn on KDWN and find out how to have a healthy, clean colon because they think they are cool trying to "help" us, when in reality they're just taking in that 3 or 400 dollars an hour for those highly informative shows. Everyone wins!

Good Night
 
The radio stations not hosting the concert had to buy the tickets to give them away.
 
tickets cost about $40 to $80 How much of that goes to the kids of dead troops?
