    Some cushy sure, but I worked at the VA as a contractor. Most had served their time and were using the skills taught.

    Doesn’t take long to get Veteran status. Combat Vets are a different animal, though.

  Give them all guns and bullets instead.

    I’ll gladly donate to this cause as long as they understand who hurt them

  Imagine pissing off a group of people so large that they exist in every major city and who have nothing to lose and nothing to fear. Plus some are crazy, hungry and desperate. Would you walk around their camp?

    Yeah, but they don’t/can’t vote while homeless, so it’s a win for him.

      Sure. Vote… That’s the problem, the voting thing. Not the fact that there are crazy homeless camping in every city who know exactly who to blame for their despair.

  Trump hates veterans, pretty sure he always has.

  But even if they weren’t veterans… they’re still people. That should be reason enough to take care of them when they can’t take care of themselves.

  Were not the Republicans complaining about the number of homeless for YEARS at this point? There is no fucking plan.

    Their complaint is that homeless are allowed to exist and may even have services available. Live humans living on the street are a reminder that their taxes go to support them and that fills them with rage

      Then why create MORE of them? I know WHY they don’t like it.

  I hope “Don’t mess with veterans!” liberals wake up.

    libs aren’t the ones doing this bullshit. in fact, libs built the VA and GI bill and a whole lot of other service benefits - fdr etc.

    in my entire life, it’s always been conservatives trying to dump vets on the streets. Reagan did it BIG TIME by closing thousands of hospitals - but bush and bush both cut vet benefits as well. Trump can’t even spell veteran, but keeps trying to defund the VA.

    it’s fucking disgusting that the no service chickenhawk shitbags get away with it, and have the nerve to tell liberals they aren’t there for the soldiers.

      It sounds like soldiers and vets just voted for their own rights to disappear, how did libs make this happen? We aren’t in power.

      You misread my comment. I’m saying liberals need to uphold their second amendment before more veterans are killed.
