Not trying to be argumentative. From what I have read, a large percentage of homeless people are vets, with a large percentage of them addicts. Also, doctors are scared to prescribe pain-killing medication in quantities sufficient to kill the pain (fear of addiction, fear of the WOD nailing them).

Sniff, sniff.

You really do like to paint a heart tugging image to support your claims. I'm so choked up.

As I've already pointed out, the vets can acquire help if they so desire.

A lot of them claim to be vets, and homeless advocates seem to accept that with little or no follow up. To leftists, those claims don't bear much critical scrutiny if they can make it appear that military service can drive a person to ruin. Read Stolen Valor for an illuminating look at the claims of false vets.
