You've been told about the numerous advantages veterans of the U.S. Army get.
The job skills, the leadership skills,
"the strength to live out your dreams."
Yet over
one-third of the homeless population
in the United States are veterans while veterans make up only about
about 9% of the people in the United States .
With massive cuts to Veterans Affairs programs, we can expect to see an even greater percentage of
soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan
on the streets.
Veterans are at a higher risk for homelessness since most suffer from
mental and
physical problems
