The difficulty is that we can't really argue what are the best measures, correct decisions - what we do know is the end result is not working. It sit well with me knowing Veterans make up 11% of the population but make up 25% of the homeless. Even given personal issues, or those who "want to be homeless" it should be closer to proportional to the population not a 'higher' rate. The research basically alludes that if you served in the military you have a higher probabilty of ending up homeless.

I don't understand how some can accept this regardless of party lines, political motivations - I think more has to be done by some those in power because whatever is being done appears not to be working.

Dear God give me patience to cope with this man.

First of all, I've never said that I don't want wounded vets to get more assistance. I never said that.

All I said was that there is a huge amount of help out there, which is contrary to what you've repeatedly said.



AND I WILL REPEAT MYSELF YET AGAIN FOR YOU:


I HAVE VERY CLOSE FRIENDS THAT ARE IN THIS CATEGORY...WHAT ABOUT YOU?

I KNOW THIS FROM FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE...WHAT ABOUT YOU?




I've asked you countless times what you want to be done, and you gave me three things:

I then responded with proof that the three things you mentioned were ALREADY COVERED, which you just ignored. Hell, who needs facts around here when we can just bitch for the fun of it?

I even gave you the 800 number to the department that handles VA home loans in case you wanted to call them and talk to them.

And this can be found here:

If you want this assistance, call 1-800-827-1000 and ask for the number to reach a Loan Service Representative that can assist you.

I have also posted the pay charts for you, the Thrift Savings Plan links, the GI Bill pay charts, the savings bonds links, and I've told you about the tuition assistance which pays for 100% of your college tuition while you are on active duty.



There is nothing else to say to you until you come back with a rebuttal to anything that I've posted, but you won't be able to because everything I've posted is verifiable and accurate. Hell, I posted the links to the actual government sites FFS.




I ALSO DON'T BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE A COLLEGE DEGREE FROM A UNIVERSITY.

I don't believe it because you can barely form sentences, you can't retrieve information from a passage, and you can't stay on topic for longer than 2 sentences YOU GOLDFISH BRAINED IDIOT.
