I heard a disgusting thing the other day. That 26% of the homeless are veterans, and that 46% of those have PTSD or other serious mental disease. But that’s not the disgusting thing I heard. I heard a man say in regards to his son seeing a bum, “Well, that’s a lesson in why you stay in school and get a job”. The ignorance and ideology embedded in that statement is stunning and hurtful to our society. 1 in 4 homeless are veterans, but in your world all homeless are bums who cannot find work. I am appalled at myself for not saying something, and I am appalled at those who think the homeless are lazy or unwilling to work. Be a real father, find the truth, tell the truth. The homeless are most likely to have a mental disease, are very likely to veterans, and that many families have been cast aside in an ideological war over society that those who view all men as equal are losing to the greedy.
