Pros

for the American RedCross ..none there is a "waste " of donated income in satisfying salary requirement for, suposedely, ad-honorem Board member positions. who are taking care of the " International Insititution" as a personal company, just taking value on the appearances and not in real productive field work!. lack of the universal and independance principles, due to having been too closely related to Armed Forces, which gives to the Principle of Universality and Neutrality a bad name internationally, There is the main reason wem the American Red Cross, have lost it " prestige" we once had with our sister federartions

Cons

lack of the universal and independance principles, due to having been too closely related to Armed Forces, which gives to the Principle of Universality and Neutrality a bad name internationally, There is the main reason wem the American Red Cross, have lost it " prestige" we once had with our sister federarations,\ if they really beleive in the Priciples, their performance should be towards inproving our acctions towards our communities ( groups) not individuals
