That anyone is homeless. We need to take on this problem of homelessness, and in the process, address the veterans as well.

I really don't buy into "veterans only" solutions. The "problem" needs solving, not just a portion of it. No American deserves to be homeless, whether they get conned into serving the "Power lords" of our country, or not.
