Chances are they aren’t Vets and if you aren’t a Vet you probably wouldn’t understand anyway.

Most of the “homeless vets” I have run across (I volunteer with a homeless outreach service) are homeless because they want to be. They are the hobos of today. Love to travel from city to city and enjoy the hospitality (free stuff) of each new city until it gets either too cold or to hot.
Don’t get me wrong, there are vets roaming the streets that are screwed up because of their military service, but for the most part they are few and far between.
