"Thirty percent of U.S. troops surveyed have developed stress-related mental health problems..."

Here are some veteran-specific statistics on the homeless from the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans:
23% of homeless population are veterans
47% Vietnam Era
89% received Honorable Discharge
76% experience alcohol, drug, or mental health problems

I guess I just can't get passed that "You're either for the war or against the troops" line of bull. Let's make sure we look out for our brothers and sisters when they come back from the "theater" (euphemism for "war zone") by paying attention to the relevant legislation, and hold our (s)elected leaders accountable.
