Where are all these homeless veterans? Most of the army vets i know live in nice homes in expensive areas
Over and over in particular in the UK and USA we hear 'There are vets sleeping on the streets' 'There are servicemen that are on the streets that can't get any help' etc etc

Now I am not saying they don't exist but where are they all? I live in a big city and I have never seen a single homeless ex-army person. I volunteered before with the homeless too and there was no guy there who was ex-army. It was all crackheads, long term homeless, dropouts, alcoholics, etc

All the old guys I know who were in the army live in nice homes with their wives in real expensive suburban parts of the city. They own the homes too. This isn't social housing. They go and get their newspapers each morning and relax in their garden for the rest of the day.

I chat to these guys too. They are nice people and have many stories. I speak to a couple of Falklands vets quite regularly and i drink in the pub with them. They have a calm life, stress free.

Even the more recent wars like Iraq and others I still haven't seen any ex servicemen living on the streets but people talk as if these guys come back home and are just left to fend for themselves on the streets.

Are there really that many of them out there or is this just a popular saying gets bandied around social media for likes?

Check out rural America where the service was the only future people had. May not be homeless, but not living it up by any means.

How the fuck would you know from looking at a homeless person whether they served or not?

Do you expect them to be standing there in fucking uniform, you fucking dumbass?

Yeah exactly, that's the point. How do all these people stating with certain fact know when they 'We have servicemen on the streets it's a disgrace'. Where is their evidence that scores of ex-army men are living in cardboard boxes? Seems like a statement or argument people use just to appeal to emotions as they know 90 percent of people sympathize with soldiers.

In the US, Veterans are being left to die on endless waiting lists because of unmitigated VA incompetence while 0beyme builds medical facilities for wetback trannies in Texas.

Democrats are the biggest warmongers of all and when the vets return home they're treated like subhuman shit.

Moreover, if it wasn't for big American bombers and brave American servicemen, Hitler's grandson would be dry-fucking your queen up the ass every day and twice on Sunday.

So, you're fucking welcome, dipshit.
