I can agree with this more than your first couple of comments.
Tupac was still right lol. There are fucking starving homeless veterans, and that is a fuckn disgrace.

Anyone staving is due to their own inability to function at the most basic level. The amount of resources given to the indigent is wild.
They treat veterans like shit.
No, no they don’t
Again, you’re generalizing. Yes the assholes ruin for everyone else.
No, they’re treated like gold for what they are
I know a guy that can barely walk, with crutches. They can’t even get him a wheelchair. Sorry, he had one.. but it crapped out and they haven’t replaced it in over 5 yrs. It’s horrible. I’m also in Canada, not in US
Yep, it is sad and unfortunate. But having a dozen family members who are veterans, and one who now works for the VA and knowing more about how it works from the other side, there is absolute no reason besides mental illness, drug addictions/incompetence for why they aren't collecting plenty of money each month.
The programs and benefits are insanely plentiful nowadays for veterans. It's sad how many resources are available for these guys if they would just LISTEN to their ranking officers' advice come time they get discharged. It's a huge racket that basically everyone gets disability. The requirements for disability are easier than to get a medical marijuana card, not to mention the other programs. "Insomnia", "anxiety", "back pain", and a hundred other things that can't be proved/disproven through physical scans or X rays.
It's sad but many of the homeless guys are actually exactly right where they want to be, as hard as it may be for us to understand at times. Only they can decide to get better. When they do there's a fountain of resources for veterans to help them get well.
