Why are real war Veterans homeless while fake veterans get to be the President of the United State of America?

Answer 1

Because the "pretend" veteran is President, and his family is rich and famous. Do you know that while he sends our children off to fight HIS war, he's never been interested in making sure that they are taken care of when they come home. Such a fine President, huh.Did you know that Jeb Bush was in charge of the "savings & loan" breakdown while George Sr. was President, and that while the owners of the saving & loan companies fled our nation with the money of our parents and grandparents, the Bush family did nothing to stop them. Oh, thats right, those savings & loan people are the ones that fund the Bush family political machine.

Answer 2

even however precise numbers are impossible again with the help of -- no one keeps national documents on homeless veterans -- the VA estimates that virtually 2 hundred,000 veterans are homeless on any given evening. And virtually 4 hundred,000 journey homelessness over the direction of a twelve months. Conservatively, one out of each and every 3 homeless adult men who's dozing in a doorway, alley or field in our cities and rural communities has positioned on a uniform and served this us of a. in accordance to the national Survey of Homeless tips vendors and consumers (U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness and the city Institute, 1999), veterans account for 23% of all homeless people in u . s . a . of america.

Answer 3

Hey friend,

The homeless veterans didn't have a (rich oil family) to come back too! And the wives and familes that were poor didn't have the necessary tools to cope with the not very (understood needed serious mental help);some wives were not understanding and ended up divorceing there husbonds and single ones ended up on the streets walking in a trance saying to themselves why why why don't they understand me.

So they end up drinking and on drugs to alter what they have experienced in Viet-Nam."Just understand that we want peace and quiet and not allot of nagging motor mouths talking people"THANKS WAR VETS!

Answer 4

All politics aside, we do a diservice to our veterans. My father did 20 years and retired from the Army unscathed thank God, but so many are so much less fortunate. NO serviceman or woman should be homeless, jobless, or not taken care of. We need to honor those and support them, even if it means higher taxes.

Answer 5

I know at least 20 war veterans personally in my life and not a one is homeless, in fact they have done quite well for themselves

Answer 6

the "fake" war president did serve I worked with him

As for the homeless war vets -- the majority have a choice as to be homeless. And that is what they choose.

Most NAM Vets who are homeless do not function well within a structured enviornment, which is a result of the NAM War.

Answer 8

Veterans did not fight for American values so they could become wards of the state...they fought for freedom ...among them the freedom to choose our own leader.

Phony Military Heroes: Medals of Dishonor

FBI agents and veterans will be on the lookout this Memorial Day weekend for phony military heroes, a disquieting trend that officials say has grown substantially in the years of the war with Iraq.
"I probably get three to five calls a day about someone spotted with suspicious decorations," said Doug Sterner, who passes along the tips to veterans groups and the FBI.
Sterner operates the Web site Home of Heroes, which is dedicated to honoring true military heroes.
"I'll be damned if I sit idly by while some wannabe phony wears awards that real heroes gave their lives for," Sterner said.
Among the most recent examples is Louis Lowell McGuinn of New York City.
He claimed to be a lieutenant colonel in the United States Army, often appearing at military events wearing an impressive array of decorations, including a Purple Heart, Silver Star and the Distinguished Service Cross.
But law enforcement officials say it was a ruse and that McGuinn was discharged from the Army in 1968 as a private, with none of the decorations he claimed.
Last month, FBI agents arrested McGuinn and charged him with wearing unearned medals and badges in violation of federal law. They say he posed as a highly decorated military officer in order to get a job with an underwater marine security company.
McGuinn pleaded not guilty and was released on $5,000 bail with his travel restricted. When contacted by ABC News, he declined to comment on the case.
The FBI and veterans groups say there are more and more decorated phonies turning up every day, and when they are caught, the punishment varies.
In one recent case in St. Louis, businessman Gerald Weilbacher received only two years probation and a $3,000 fine after pleading guilty to federal charges of wearing Marine Corps medals he did not earn, including the Navy Cross, the Corps' second highest medal.
The 400-pound Weilbacher never served in the Marines and was spotted at one Marine Corps veterans event as a phony because "he was too fat to be a Marine," according to one veteran.
In contrast, Michael Bramlett of Springfield, Mo., was sentenced to six months in federal prison without parole for claiming to be a Marine Captain and wearing unauthorized medals that included a Silver Star, Navy Cross and a Purple Heart for combat in Iraq.
At his sentencing on April 3, U.S. Attorney Bradley Schlozman said, "This impostor received the maximum penalty for his dishonorable conduct. Such disrespect for the brave men and women serving in our nation's forces won't be tolerated."
FBI Agent Michael Sandborn works to track down and expose phony military heroes.
"In cemeteries overseas, there are 124,913 Americans who paid for their Purple Hearts with their lives, and these impostors purchase theirs over the Internet and at surplus stores," he told ABC News.
Recent passage of the Stolen Valor Act now makes any misrepresentation of military decorations punishable by up to a year in jail.
Watchdogs like Doug Sterner think that even with the tougher law, military phonies will still be out there tarnishing the image of the true military heroes.
Sterner says, "It's so prevalent that you're never going to catch and prosecute all of them."

Answer 10

The political process in America is open to everybody.
Not everybody wants to be involved in the political process.
Your question is obtuse.
