Soldiers Kicked To The Curb
We absolutely cannot, cannot allow this to happen again.:
"U.S. veterans from the war in Iraq are beginning to show up at homeless shelters around the country, and advocates fear they are the leading edge of a new generation of homeless vets not seen since the Vietnam era.
'When we already have people from Iraq on the streets, my God,' said Linda Boone, executive director of the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans. 'I have talked to enough (shelters) to know we are getting them. It is happening and this nation is not prepared for that.'"
I thought I was half-joking about Iraqi veterans winding up shaking a cup outside of Target and Walmart but I had no idea it would happen this fast. These situations must be rectified!

As an Australian Vietnam veteran who's done it tough, my heart goes out to those homeless veterans, most of whom would be suffering from PTSD. Such a useless war. Such a waste of loyalty and courage, and such a pointless sacrifice. I hope they receive good care and shelter soon. Thanks for publicising their plight.
