What percentage of American adults have served in the military? How many adults do you personally know who have served in the military? It used to be 50% after WW2.
I am guessing that less that 5% of today’s adults have served. If you know anything about the military, they thoroughly train you to survive, thrive and function. Then too, some get the tar knocked out of them.
Yet, it is most improbable that more than 25% of all homeless are VETs.
What are the requirements to be a VET?
Wasn’t 50% after WWII. There were over 100 million people. About 15 million served, one way or the other.
first,i don't believe the numbers. but i'd guess 25% might be possible(maybe a little high depending on what part of the country is looked at) for the number who served, and my point being if 25% served, it's statistically possible 25% Might be homeless.
like you said, survival is ingrained so i don't believe their numbers
