One of thinks in my life that I wished I could of done was to be able to serve my country in the military, why most of m college buddies were scared to death to about having to fight in Viet Nam, I so much wanted to be able to enlist, but because of my cerebral palsy, and especially having a 90% hearing loss, it was out of the question. Even today I wonder why handicap people cannot work in the government?
With all the millions of veterans that the government try to take care of, the one problem that is very distressing to me is why do we still have at least 50,000 veterans that are Homeless? I I know that they suffer from post traumatic distress disorder, cannot use their military kills once they enter the civilian work force, and they cannot financially able to support them selves. I think this a cop out by our government, once one enters the military, it’s the government responsibility to make sure that every veteran, gets both the proper education, psychological guidance, and a guaranteed pension one they fulfill their military obligation. I know that this will cost us a lot of money, but our veterans are not paid for the tweet four hours a day that they are serving their county, 168 hour work week, I think their take home pay isn’t even four dollars an hour, I know they get free housing and food and clothing, that might add up to $40k, but the bottom line is that they begin at at about $30K. How many of you would give up four years of your life for this “Chump” Change.
For many, this is the only alternative to survive, I can’t think of a better way to get room and board, a skill, money for education, life time medical attention, and lots of discipline, but it’s the chance of becoming homeless that is most upsetting to me, in an national embarrassment. So how do we solve it, made we should stop playing lotto of one day a month or ask our government officials to let us give our extra two cents of taxes a month to help eradicate our veterans homeless problem.
