To clear up some mistruths being spread about Invisible Children:
1. No, they do not give money to the Uganda military.
2. Yes, only 30-something percent of their money goes directly towards helping people.
3. Yes, the video is very old, and outdated.
4. No, they don't take the rest of the money for themselves (although the founders do have six figure salaries). Most of their money goes towards creating promotions and awareness - advertising, basically. Some 16% is spent on "management".

It's not a scam, but the founders are making quite a bit through Invisible Children.
