ELI5: Why America has so many homeless veterans ?
gpt
American culture is ruthless and cutthroat. You are expected to be self sufficient or you're second class. We send poor boys to go to war under the absurd delusion that they're hero's going off to kill the bad guys and they come back fucked up, and then we taboo mental illness and those who suffer from it. It's your own fault and you can suffer, so long as you do it elsewhere, because no one wants to see it. No health insurance? Don't get sick or die quickly. There are VA services that are non-profit purely volunteer to help our veterans FILE AND TRACK THE PAPERWORK because our government veteran services don't actually provide any services to help veterans file the complicated and nuanced documents, and is so resistant to actually pay out expensive services owed they will delay or "lose" requests, as tactics to discourage any from trying to collect on services they need or are owed. We use the same tactics on children and families in areas such as medical care, education, and justice.
