On this issue there needs to be a reality check. Go to any food bank and they will tell you there is a noticeable number of vets. Some have just returned to a bad job market, or have trouble adjusting. Many are older vets who live off social security and nothing else so after rent and bills not much is left. Sure, many vets have done great but, many have not...and most are not lazy cons. They are men and women who served our country bravely and, honorably but for many reasons have fallen on hard times. Our church has a food pantry and we come across too many vets who are in need. I, for one, believe when a vet needs help, we help them. It is Veterans Day for Gods sake...take the day off from blaming our Vets.

Our church has a food pantry and we come across too many vets who are in need. I, for one, believe when a vet needs help, we help them.

No one denies that some Vets need assistance, and we all agree we're morally obligated to help.

However, to say that Veterans are three times more likely to need assistance providing for even their most basic needs slanders the entire group. It portrays them as proportionally less competent and able than the general population by a significant margin, and that's just not true. Anyone who's served and/or been around those who've served knows this is not the case.

Gods sake...take the day off from blaming our Vets.

No one is blaming our Veterans. Some of us are defending their honor. You seem to be going along with the "Vets are inherently damaged people" school of thought.
