You don't have a college degree do you?
1. There is no such thing as a "former veteran."
2.
Overview of Homelessness - Homeless Veterans
3.
Homeless Veterans Home
4.
Homeless Programs & Initiatives - Homeless Veterans
5. "Atlthough many homeless veterans served in combat in Vietnam and suffer from PTSD, at this time, epidemiologic studies do not suggest that there is a causal connection between military service, service in Vietnam, or exposure to combat and homelessness among veterans. Family background, access to support from family and friends, and various personal characteristics (rather than military service) seem to be the stronger indicators of risk of homelessness."
6. Some individuals join the military because they literally can't do anything for themself. I knew people like this, and the military took care of them. However, when you have someone who can't take care of himself, lives paycheck to paycheck, then decides to get out, what do you think is going to happen? You think he's going to threaten Donald Trump's business endeavors?
This is made worse when someone doesn't pay attention in any of the Personal Financial Management classes, doesn't do his MCI's, and doesn't do anything other than squeak by during his time on active duty.
The military can not hold everyone's hand, do their laundry, or wipe their ass for them.
There are so many programs and classes and continuing education opportunities that nobody should ever have a problem getting out and getting situated.
I already explained the Montgomery GI Bill to you, although I doubt you read it.
Like I said, I made so much money with the GI Bill and the Pell Grant that I ended up investing it in real estate.
You literally don't have a pot to piss in with regards to this conversation.
