DWB has definitely done good work all over the world. Despite the appalling nature of this particular
unit, it isn't typical. I'm constantly amazed how when upon hearing of a scandal of a NPO or long standing humanitarian
organization, people are like "Well, fuck them - they're dead to me." You don't toss a largely effective organization in the garbage when it encounters scandal and you don't burn a house down in the case of termites. In either case you fix it, unless one is a virtue signalling naif that believes that such organizations with a mature network and willing volunteers can just be "sprouted" from the soil when needed.
