I don't know if you can read the sign that the guy is holding.  It says Homeless Veteran,

I am seeing more and more of these around town, and frankly if they are homeless veterans, why the hell are they.  I have a great idea.  These bases that we've closed over the years and are sitting empty or we have sold off to private parties. Sometimes the are sold off, more often than not they are sitting empty and completely unused.  Even at bases that are open the military has shrunk so much that housing is empty at bases all over the country.  Could somebody please explain to me why these homes are not being used to house homeless vets.  Why aren't we using them re-train vets when they return.  Can you imagine how efficient that the wounded warrior programs would be if the participants were all housed together.  Counseling, vocational training, adequate medical facilities, athletic and rehabilitation facilities.  Don't tell me that we keep some of them open to house Hurricane refugees because the last I heard from the news, that did not happen at all.  All you have to do is drive through parts of Houston and Dallas and Oklahoma City and you can see exactly where the Hurricane Katrina victims were left.

I'd like to know just exactly what the government excuses are for this.  I realize that nobody in the federal government really gives a shit.  Potus doesn't even have the time to visit a VA hospital.  Let alone write some legislation and invent some programs that would really help our veterans.
