Toby - according to the VA there are currently 600 veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who are now homeless. And yes, perhaps many of them grew up in poverty and joined the military as a way out -

All im saying is - no matter where these young soldiers come from, they should be taken care of when they come back from war. Dont you agree?

hoping I dont end up in that situation in 2 months when I finally get out. Buts its looking possible.

Jade - let me know when you get out - ive met some people along the way that can help - thanks for serving our country - Dan

What I intended to say was: although this war in Iraq is a frivolous use of our troops and is lining Cheney's and Halliburton's pockets, we sent those troops off under U.S. auspices, and as such, we owe them our gratitude....

Section 8 at least for these people. Please

We have the same problem here in the UK too; a significant number of homeless on our streets are veterans. There is hope, we have a good charity being set up which is dedicated to caring for homeless ex-servicemen, but many don't know the charity exists, or feel they are beyond help. All I can say, if any servicemen subjected to homelessness or PTSD are reading this, is that you are never beyond help.

I cried with you...

I can't imagine the sense of betrayal that these brave men and women have had to endure and are currently facing. It is unspeakable that there are not enough services and means of support to help them make it and be successful even when they return.

1.2 trillion dollars wars

post deployment budget is not include in 1.2 trillion only 620 billion spends over diseased and injured soldiers.

Billion dollars Private security contractor also out of war cost.

Zionista and Bankers ruling ,super power America has collapsed.

@ stephenswickedcoo- Are you serious? They do not get "so much money when they deploy....they are given a decent wage, but also have to still pay for everything they left behind, i.e. car, rent, child support, etc. They get back and have to find a job or are returned to their job and, given that the position is probably filled, their hours may have been reduced, they have to wait forever for the mental and emotional help they need. There is so much more, your callousness is disgusting-SHAMEFUL

I have seen it, I have lived it! It was a pleasure serving with you Noel! I remember when people at the CAV were laughing when they found out that you were making a movie about our struggles! well, now you have the last laugh, thanks for exposing the condition and situation of so many vets, we all thank you!

[InfantryArmyMom]

Thank You for your Service, I am sooo sorry for all the stuggles you have gone through,. Our Vet's are treated like sh*t and those who isn't personally affected simply do not understand. Hopefully your documentary will raise the awarness that is so needed. I saw the full version about 2 weeks ago on hulu and i appreciate your continued fight for what is right and speaking up in order to help fellow Vets that share the same stuggles as you, and I know there is Thousands of them.

[InfantryArmyMom]

Im sorry but i beg to differ with your comment. those that you know and are speaking about must be some of the lucky ones,. So many fall through the cracks. There was a soldier who begged to talk to a cousler becuz he was suicidal but was told to wait 3 weeks for an appointment, guess what he blew his head off 3 days before his appointment. Guess what I could tell you about more stories like this but I am only allowed to type so much. I seriously advise you 2 educate beyond your 3 friends !!!

[stephenswickedcool]

Are you fucking kidding me... I'm sorry but seriously, they give you so much money when you go into the military, they have open therapy and whatever medical care you need readily available... You say we don't treat vets right... I agree we used to not treat them properly, but I have 3 vets in the family, and a few friends. They are all extremely well taken care of monetarily, AND therapeutically... so seriously, stfu.
