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.

You got it, Sherlock!
