A valid Question, but does that lesson the pain of these women?
Abuse is abuse.
Some try to spin it as a part of the military culture when it certainly is not official policy.
Are the numbers appreciably higher than women being assaulted in general society?
WHY would a returning vet be homeless ?
Simple .... no wife nor husband.
It is amazing what a man or a woman can do (and HAS done since The Garden) if they are righteously coupled together and live life as a marriage.
No other element ... education, MOS, city they live in, etc., etc., has a thing to do with homelessness except they have no one to share life with.
