Washington, DC, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- U.S. veterans from the war in Iraq are beginning to show up at homeless shelters around the country, and advocates fear they are the leading edge of a new generation of homeless vets not seen since the Vietnam era.
"When we already have people from Iraq on the streets, my God," said Linda Boone, executive director of the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans. "I have talked to enough (shelters) to know we are getting them. It is happening and this nation is not prepared for that."
Of course, when Viet Nam was going on, there was no such thing as a "homeless shelter."
Thanks George W. Bush.
Now work on Social Security so, while you don't destroy it this decade, they'll have nothing when they retire. Jesus will love you for that.
