Vietnam all over again (Homeless Vets)

USA shame on you, shame on you ... again

watching this CNN report about a Iraq vet, who broke his back etc ... living in his car, not able to work anymore, only gets $218 disability (20%)
It took a TV channel to get his disability raised to 100%.

For a country that is so touchy about their soldiers, I would bet it's the Western country with the least amount of REAL respect for it's vets. Parades don't feed people, food does.

200.000 homeless vets reside in the USA today.
