This is the second one of these attempts to dredge back up the "violent, unstable Combat Vet SYndrome," that I have seen this weekend. There is another one somewhere on FR from a SanSiego paper.

And on Memorial Day too. These people have no shame whatsoever.

Utterly comtemplable. I cannot express my disgust with this pack of back stabbing traitors.

This really ticks me off as the widow of a Vietnam vet. And, as a reasonable person. These "studies" that are used to come up with numbers of homeless vets rely on the word of "homeless"* people as to their vet status. And, saying that they are poor, forgotten, mistreated vets who turned to their life on the streets because of the horrible experience they had serving their country is much easier for them to say instead of taking responsibility for their situation. Most of them are not vets, and the few who are may or may not have seen combat. This is a scurilous slander against the men and women who served honorably in Vietnam.


*(homelessness is hardly their problem; bad decisions, substance abuse and mental health problems are what causes their homelessness)
