Just because 70% don't have recognized or documented mental disability doesn't mean laziness is keeping them from rejoining society. As with many homeless veterans, whom most our country has turned their backs on, trauma based mental illness like ptsd does not allow them to re-enter society. There are many other factors like past criminal transgressions and addiction. The fact that you base your opinion on anecdotal evidence instead of really trying to understand the factors says a lot about said opinion. What frustrates me is we will never be able fix this problem, for veterans and civilians alike, with a good number of people sharing your uniformed opinion. I respect that you have served our country and thank you for your service, but you need to realize in this matter you are no expert. I have met and talked with numerous military personel, but I do not claim to know anything about being a soldier.
