A huge percentage of homeless people are veterans.
I think we've been down this road before. What is your proof? Most "vets" are not truly "vetted". I'm an Army vet and spent 35 years in L.A. and challenged dozens, perhaps scores, of homeless "vets" on their credentials and NONE passed the simplest tests. NONE! Are there homeless veterans? Of course, but they are not over represented. Since most folks are not military savvy they don't know the questions to ask or have the huevos to ask.
There are Special Forces posers that actually get into the VFW and even the Special Forces Association (http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51037&highlight=Association) because no one asked for their DD-214. This pissing on vets is getting really old!

Thank you, I was going to ask where that "statistic" came from.
