Not all homeless people are completely drugged up. Most of the time it's not their fault they are homeless, it's someone else screwing them over. You'd be surprised the number of homeless people that have jobs and money but not enough to do anything with it or, similar to the veterans, have been homeless for so long or maybe for parts of their childhood that they too have trouble reintegrating into society. Don't generalize and judge them on preconceptions you may have. Yes it's sad that the people who fought for your country are like this but they all deserve the same chance. Putting them above other people isn't right

The difference is still a rather huge gap considering after putting their lives on the line for a country and people who don't appreciate it is what the message is. The veterans gave their lives, homes, and sanity to the idea of freedom, liberty, and the overall betterment to mankind. I understand that people cant help they're homeless but theirs still a significant difference between homeless vets and other homeless people.

There is a difference and im not saying that there isn't but they are all people and shouldn't be put above others and all deserve the same things. There are thousands of homeless and a fraction of them are veterans. Yes they fought to represent your country in a battle overseas but it's a bigger problem than just the veterans. Yes you could get homes for all the homeless veterans but then everybody would be in a false sense of accomplishment thinking that they fixed this massive problem by getting all the homeless vets off the streets when there is still a bigger problem with everyone else. The other homeless may not have had the same chances and opportunities to join up if they wanted to or, here's an idea, they didn't want to fight (would you really?) but that doesn't mean they are any less people and don't deserve the exact same opportunities to be helped as the veterans.
