The way I see it....the homeless soldiers are generally not the same as when they went to war. They don't re-acclimate for some reason. It's not that the safety nets aren't there, it's that some of the guys have a hard time either finding them or using them. They have a lot to offer society when they come home, but the wars change different soldiers in different ways, some of them not so good. I think that's the challenge to us. Not to make even more safety nets available to them, but to make sure they don't come home mentally broken. That's a tall order and I don't know how to accomplish it. Maybe some kind of exit program?
