NO ONE, ESPECIALLY VETERANS, SHOULD BE HOMELESS
Would be better without the ‘especially veterans’ part. WTF makes veterans so special? Why is a homeless veteran more concerning than any other homeless person?
I am a veteran, by the way. But fuck this shit.

I mean honestly, as a non veteran, they risked more than most of us civilians have ever had to risk for our nation’s security. And by Nation I mean the people, not the country. So yes I do believe all veterans should be entitled to certain benefits above and beyond the average citizen. The same was true for soldiers in ancient Rome.

I’m not pro military by any stretch of the imagination, but I see this fundamentally as an employer’s duty of care. If you hire people to do a job, and that job results in lasting damage, you should be liable (morally and civilly) for fixing there damage. Anything else is just pushing the externalities off to society at large.
