Quoting MedicMama:
Thank God for men and women who devote their lives to the common good, who seek to serve a higher power and something larger than themselves. However, when I hear the statistics of homeless people and find out that 40% of homeless people are VETERANS? It co mes to mind that what are we doing to help them? How are engaging their survival skills and properly transitioning them back into the civilian society? What is our goverment doing to assist, other than creating another social program that needs more funding....Our gov't is not doing enough to AID our Veterans in the transition for military to civilian...deprogramming... It is my belief from having gone thru that transition myself, that employers that haven't served in the military, don't seek military vets, and those that have served find out that our veterans are difficult to deal with and have emotional and physical baggage that they carry. "DOC" say's don't expect anything from our civilian community....Use your survival skills to your benefit but always REACH OUT to your fellow VETS. We are the only ones that understand what your going through and what you will go through. Don't expect the VAMC Hospitals to understand, in most cases, they've learned through what they've read and have NO first hand experience. No one can take care of you better than you, but KNOW when you need HELP. I call it the "CRACKING POINT". Some cases you will know it, other cases people will tell you and "DOC" says you should listen. Please if your a VET and you have the means to employ a Veteran, than do it....A word to the wise, if your a VET and you expect people to give you a job, it won't happen....You have to want it, hunger it, and go after it. Don't forget where you came from.
