Although I don't personally know someone serving in Iraq, I'm very passionate about the rights of veterans. The liberals won't tell you this, but half of the people who are homeless are veterans. This is very wrong. As a country, we should be working to get veterans off the streets and back into the workforce so that they can continue serving our country through the workforce.
So should there be more done or am I just wasting my breath?
Your thoughts.

I've only met two guys who served in Iraq. Sadly I met the first one at his funeral. The 2nd one I met I saw at a family reunion. I didn't get much of a chance to talk to him because everyone else wanted to. Anyway I think the vets deserve more help. We learned from Nam what the horrors of war can do to you. We need to make sure we do more for our vets.

What source are you using when you say that half of the homeless are veterans?

well, most of the iraq/afgahnistan veterans im familiar with are actually returning home and still in the military, so they still get a paycheck. i think those are the ones that will get along just fine. its the ones that are coming back with missing limbs or some type of trauma that we need to take care of. and not just iraq veterans, but veterans of all wars.

Well considering that most of the people receiving government help didn't do a good thing to deserve it, I agree that they should be taken care of. These are people that put their very life on the line for our freedom and way of life. They CHOSE to go fight and serve, and if we can't treat them with the respect and dignity they've EARNED (not born deserving) then we are letting them down greatly.
Seriously, if the government can give billions of dollars to people who made huge mistakes but can't reward those who put their all on the altar of service, then things are in sorry shape.

I'll drink to that.  On the note of Grant is it a bad thing that I think of him as a war hero first and a president second? D:
