About one-third of all adult homeless men are veterans, and an average night finds an estimated 131,000 of them from five decades bedding down on streets and in charity sanctuaries.
How did you learn that ? Did the reporter check their DD 214s ? Of course not. I have been warning my medical students that about a third of the male patients in LA County Hospital will claim to be Vietnam veterans. Most of those men would have been under 15 years old at the time the US troops left the country. There is nothing new under the sun, including credulous reporters.
