What's
wrong with this picture? You sign up to defend your country, to be a
"peace-keeper", and offer up life and limb to secure this so-called "glory" job,
and when you get out of the military, you have the potential for homelessness on
the horizon? The system is FUBAR.
Why
would anyone join the military? Because of "marketing". No one in the USA knows
the truth about ANYTHING of importance because the powers-that-were create a
false reality and con the public. We are manipulated.
Time
to wake up, people. The US military is not a glorious profession. It's signing
up for deadly vaccinations and drugs, coercion, mind control, to be maimed,
murdered by "friendly fire", too often involves dealing with depression and
post-traumatic stress disorder, or being left to fend for yourself on the
streets; homeless, destitute and psychotic, a burden to your family---not to
mention being responsible for the murder of innocent people in far-off
countries.
Unfortunately, idealistic young folk who need a job or a career, want to be a
helicopter or fighter pilot or feel the lure of the call to defend their country
and families in the general infantry will fall for the carefully crafted
advertising or promises from silken-tongued recruiters and sign up, chomping at
the bit to begin what is truly a life and death struggle against one of the
global elite's most successful methods of population reduction.
That
is the cold, hard reality, and it sickens me. I find it hard to believe that
Americans could have allowed this to happen and that it worsens, rather than
improving. The solution? For many vets; suicide.
The
REAL solution? Stop enlisting and refuse to go to war.
As more young veterans of recent wars leave the military, the number of them falling on hard times and homelessness continues to rise sharply.

Nearly
50,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans were either homeless or in a federal
program aimed at keeping them off the streets during 2013, almost triple the
number in 2011, according to numbers released Thursday by the Department of
Veterans Affairs.
The
number among this generation falling on hard times is rising sharply even as
homelessness among veterans of all ages and conflicts has been on the decline,
according to the VA.
Advocates
for the homeless say many of the estimated 2.5 million Americans who served in
the two wars went into combat zones on multiple deployments, something many
veterans of previous conflicts never had to endure.
“They’re
coming home to a bad economy. The country is different. Their families are
different. They are different. Plus they are dealing with PTSD (post-traumatic
stress disorder) and other issues around mental health,” says Gregory Scott,
president of New Directions For Veterans, a non-profit assistance group in Los
Angeles.
“We
don’t know what the long-term impacts will be on the Iraq and Afghanistan
veterans,” says John Driscoll, president and chief executive officer of the
National Coalition for Homeless Veterans.
VA
spokeswoman Victoria Dillon said the number of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans
struggling with homeless issues has grown because the department has expanded
efforts to identify and assist them. The department has programs throughout all
50 states, working with community groups to target homeless veterans, and as a
consequence, a more accurate picture of the number of these veterans is
emerging.
A
lack of affordable housing has contributed to veteran homelessness, the VA
says.
