Many US war veterans are suffering from a food and housing crisis, meaning most of them are becoming homeless!
The American government is kicking them all in the ass .

Yup, our support of our veterans is underwhelming for sure :frown:
A lot of those homeless just use the "war veteran" thing as their gimmick to get people to pity them and give them money. The closest a lot of them have ever been to the military was watching the Iraq invasion on TV.Quote:

Just because they "served" a tyrant government's army (that doesn't represent or serve the people that live in it's dominion), it doesn't mean they deserve any extra perks over anyone else. In fact, they've had opportunities that other people don't get (GI bills, VA benefits, etc). Sure maybe they got a little shellshock, but that's their problem. Maybe they shouldn't have gone terrorizing a bunch of third world countries for some other country's (not America's) benefit?
No they're bums on the street like any of the other bums. All they want is handouts so they can do more drugs and more alcohol while playing with their delusions.
Won’t argue with that . . . .Quote:
