There are SO MANY people who pretend to support our military. Those who shake their fingers about the overburdened VA.
Those who want to act like THIS president is at fault for what happened to those folks who wanted to be released from the service and were prevented, the disregard for those who are booted from the military without benefits because the Pentagon gives them so little in care while they are active.
Those who return to us troubled mess up and get booted out with a less than Honorable designation and despite all of those years of danger are denied any help.
So it has been that "corrupt" man...that guy who is (what?) laying waste to the nation who has been left to [what do the h**ers claim?, oh right. It has been left to him to act in an UNCONSTITUTIONAL way] assist the so well honored vets who are left homeless for decades.

As The GOP Sat On Their Hands, Obama Got 50% Of Homeless Vets Off The Streets
NOVEMBER 24TH, 2015 SARAH
Theres a lot of talk about what should be done to help our Veterans who have so selflessly given themselves to the service of the United States. Republicans will talk a good game and make-believe they are the ones who actually care about Vets, but in reality, they have v**ed against Veteran benefits more times than anyone would ever care to count. It wasnt until the Democrats passed the Post-9/11 GI Bill that we, as a nation, actually started to again look like we care about those who put everything on the line for our nation.
Then, in 2010, President Obama really made the push to help the homeless, including Veterans. Within 4 years, half of homeless Vets are off the streets.
The Obama program that really got the ball rolling was called Opening Doors, which is a program to help eradicate homelessness nationwide. According to its website:
Opening Doors is the nations first comprehensive Federal strategy to prevent and end homelessness. The Plan includes 10 objectives, five themes, and 66 strategies that guide the nation toward accomplishing all four goals of the Plan. Opening Doors serves as a roadmap for coordinated, joint action among the 19 USICH member agencies that make up the Council, along with local and state partners in the public and private sectors.
And while homelessness, in general, has declined by 11% from 2007 to January 2015 and chronic homelessness by 31%, the most dramatic decrease has been among homeless veterans where the number of unsheltered homeless veterans across the nation has plummeted by 50% in the past four years.
