"He loved the military, particularly the travel. But when an officer told him to re-enlist because he'd be good at nothing else, Marsh heard a challenge."

Well, I guess he really showed that officer.

"One day I just said, 'I'm going down to Louisiana,'" he recalls, smoking a cigarette..

"He hasn't seen a dentist since 1996. Many of his teeth have shattered and blackened, and a cracked back molar causes constant pain."

So, he can afford cigarettes but not tooth paste? No sympathy for this whiner.

BS. I lived outside a town with a VA Domicilliary. We also had homeless vets in the area.

Each year, maybe twice a year they held a 'stand down' for a week or two, and ALL vets, 'homed', resident, or homeless, were welcome to come in, and recieve meals, basic medical & dental care, clothing, shoes, soap, shampoo, TOOTHPASTE & TOOTHBRUSHES, delousing, whatever other basics they needed. It was widely advertised, flyered, and word-of-mouthed by advocates & activists.
