Wow, you think nobody cares about the homeless, assume that anyone who isn't disabled isn't trying, and hope that politicians die just because they disagree with your Dear Leader. Have you actually listened to yourself? The issue isn't that people don't care (plenty of them do), it's that you have no concept of empathy.
Considering I housed a mentally ill family member who used to be homeless before I took him in for 5 years, I probably know firsthand more than you do about the situation. That's why I put (not disabled) in my post. Hell even my disabled family member wanted to work, and has now found a job and lives on his own. He gets peanuts from the gov but supplements that with a part time job. Maybe they need to just put my DNA in some of these worthless sacks of shit who aren't disabled but won't work b/c of laziness. Everyone in my family works hard and are successful, I wouldn't be surprised if laziness is a genetic trait passed down from generations.

The AF should not be handling space operations. That'd be like me trying to run the Fed b/c I run an investment firm. It's ridiculous.

They have been doing a damn fine job of it so far. Literally the only way a Space Force could get up and running would be to take the existing Air Force personnel and equipment and transfer it to the Space Force. If you don't see how retarded that is then I don't know what to tell you. Not to mention a ton of extra funding required in an already bloated military budget, even more bureaucracy and more dick wagging between a greater number of services. All to create a new branch of military that is completed unneeded since the AF is doing a great job of handling it as is. It is beyond dumb and I freaking love space. If I thought this would help in any way I'd be the first to promote it but not only will it not help it will hurt.

You can read, right? I put (not disabled). If they have certifiable PTSD then obviously they aren't going to be able to work. Trump needs to improve that issue before they become homeless. Afterward, they are just a drain on society. What % actually gets rehabbed? lol. Get a fucking job if you're not disabled. The funniest was when Seattle council was told to F off when they tried to implement a new tax on businesses in the region to support their homeless. Maybe don't enable them, and they'll leave for greener pastures (California) - gee what a novel idea.

You think guys came back from fighting a war and despite being perfectly well said fuck it, I'm going to live on the streets?

After working odd jobs, yes. Most of the enlisted guys who are homeless don't have a college degree, and eventually their bodies break down doing manual labor. They aren't smart enough to get a degree on the weekends to try and better themselves. It is what it is, but the smart try to better themselves and the dumb will end up homeless. Things work themselves out in the end, sad but true. You realize that vets can take virtually free online college courses b/c of the GI Bill, right? One of my friends, she just got her degree for free b/c her husband was in the military. So if vets aren't taking advantage of their benefits, we're just supposed to pay for all their shit b/c they were lazy/dumb? Get real.

You could save a lot of bloviating if you'd just condense your posts to FYGM.

WASHINGTON
– Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order titled, “Supporting Our Veterans During Their Transition From Uniformed Service to Civilian Life.” This Executive Order directs the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security to develop a plan to ensure that all new Veterans receive mental health care for at least one year following their separation from service.

The three departments will work together and develop a Joint Action Plan to ensure that the 60 percent of new Veterans who currently do not qualify for enrollment in healthcare — primarily due to lack of verified service connection related to the medical issue at hand — will receive treatment and access to services for mental health care for one year following their separation from service.

“As service members transition to Veteran status, they face higher risk of suicide and mental health difficulties,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Dr. David J. Shulkin. “During this critical phase, many transitioning service members may not qualify for enrollment in health care. The focus of this Executive Order is to coordinate Federal assets to close that gap.”

The Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security will work to expand mental health programs and other resources to new Veterans to the year following departure from uniformed service, including eliminating prior time limits and:

  • Expanding peer community outreach and group sessions in the VA Whole Health initiative from 18 Whole Health Flagship facilities to all facilities. Whole Health includes wellness and establishing individual health goals.
  • Extending the Department of Defense’s “Be There Peer Support Call and Outreach Center” services to provide peer support for Veterans in the year following separation from the uniformed service.
  • Expanding the Department of Defense’s Military One Source (MOS), which offers resources to active duty members, to include services to separating service members to one year beyond service separation.
“We look forward to continuing our partnership with the VA to ensure Veterans who have served our country continue to receive the important mental health care and services they need and deserve,” said Secretary of Defense James N. Mattis.

MAGA!!!!

Well, yeh, but you already deemed them Losers! unworthy of help... not to mention it does nothing for vets already out on the streets...
Yup and non-disabled homeless vets are losers. Trump's XO will help the disabled and non-disabled alike. Which means less losing, and more winning. Ya dig?

Yes, but you already said that Losers! naturally deserve to lose because they don't have what it takes to make it.

Nope. I have nothing against a policy that rewards our soldiers to help keep them out of homeless shelters. However, if they've completely ignored all the tools to help them not become homeless (GI bill to get a degree, Trump's new XO for 1 year of free mental health after they aren't active duty anymore), then I have a problem with helping them further. At that point they can get on food stamps like everyone else. The special treatment stops.

Well it comes down to money. Maybe they can't afford to give every living vet since WW2 treatment? Which would be a ridiculous bill. Recent vets can blame W and Obama for not thinking of such a policy.

Oh, if it's not recent then it's all since WW2, lol....it's too bad they're not serious. Have they put forth the plan? Because that's what the text reads, it's an article about the agreement to make a plan...

Wasn't it an XO? Which would mean active right away, unless the XO said otherwise.

I don't think food stamps are getting cut anytime soon, bro. I don't respect anyone who doesn't respect themselves enough to do better in life, especially when it's handed to them on a silver platter like free college.

Wow... You think a decent number of our vets, who have fought wars for us, are simply too dumb to make it in the real world so fuck em? What respect you show for our troops.

Given the tools they are given on a silver platter to succeed outside of the military (Gi bill, special loan rates, Trump's new 1 yr of mental healthcare, etc) nope. If they squander such an opportunity then they are no different than anyone at that point and should be getting food stamps like other homeless. That's the cold hard facts. Furthermore, there are actually vet-only homeless shelters that they can go to. Hell, why not just go to the library and use that Gi bill benefit and get a degree. But they won't.

Your contempt is noted. Cutting the SNAP program by 30% was part of the 2019 budget proposal by republicans, you should pay attention.
