Issue # 2 : The Rich and The Rest of US

second issue :
    The National Coalition for homeless veterans estimates that more than 67, 000 veterans on any given night, but about 1.5 million are considered at risk of homelessness due to poverty, lack of support networks, or dismal living conditions and substandard housing.  Base on data from HUD and the U.S department of Veteran affairs 67,495veterans are homeless 4,355 of them headed households with children. In response of this issue is that how can a soldier who fought for this nation end up in the poverty line? there's many reasons it could be the post traumatic stress and physical injuries that prevents them to work. Even though if there reasons why they become homeless my question is why would we allow veterans become homeless ? isn't that shameful and unfair for brave men who fought for this country deserve to end up in poverty when they come home from war.
