Havin' Trouble here . . .
cynical? moi?!?
Anyone else having trouble with this stat?
The National Alliance to End Homelessness [study says]
...Veterans make up one in four homeless people in the United States, though they are only 11 percent of the general adult population
...2005 data estimated that 194,254 homeless people out of 744,313 on any given night were veterans
Given that the Veterans Affairs Department has identified 1,500 homeless veterans from the current wars, 400 having participated in its programs, I find that stat just a tad too reminiscent of the slurs against Viet Nam veterans [which were so clearly, thoroughly and cleanly debunked in the largely ignored Stolen Valor]
Spiral, anyone?
