What makes veterans different than anyone else? Homeless people brought it on themselves.
Veterans are not like anyone else. It was veterans who fought, bled and died to secure this country and protect the freedoms that we, as Americans, enjoy to this very day. For that alone, we should be grateful. To say that anyone brought the misery or grief that they are suffering upon themselves is a very short sighted perspective. Countless surveys and studies indicate that circumstances associated with military service and the readjustment period immediately following separation can lead to serious personal issues that can result in social problems and homelessness. As fellow veterans, as Christians, as Americans, as whatever good you believe in, we owe it to ourselves, society and these, our fellow humans, to do whatever we can to assist in their plight.
