As a veteran, don't accuse us of being homeless. Whiles there's many misconceptions about leaving the military the most frustrating one is that a majority of us end up a degenerate. Not true! Most probably get fucked over on benefits but most I know are successful at contributing to society. America is our home, sometimes we are roof-less for a bit but we drink water and drive on.
Actually, my family in WA have helped a number of homeless vets. One was freezing to death on the street, they took him in for a while 'till he got better and bought him a truck to help him get back on his feet.
Always taught my daughter to befriend and care for the people nobody wants to know. She started when she was little bringing kids home who were friendless or neglected. One girl had never been asked to to come visit anyone and was so happy to be invited. She helped homeless folk when she was a student, sometimes bringing them back to sleep on her floor. One poor boy was so worn out he slept for 2 days straight. She washed his clothes, fed him and he went his way. She saw him years later; he was clearly doing well. They recognised each other but couldn't speak, just smiled. Glad to see she and her husband are still helping folk. She is struggling with her faith right now, but I take comfort in knowing she can't have fallen far from the Lord if she is loving the unloved and doing her bit.
