> I'd say that is zero.

That's your society, not all societies. People, veterans or not, aren't homeless in mine.

I can only speak for the society I live in, Australia. I'm glad you perceive yours (wherever that is) to be doing much better. I hope you use that privilege to enrich your fellow man instead of just bragging online.

  • Sorry, I had been attempting to strike a nagging tone more than a bragging one: to put it more baldly, homelessness is a (collective) choice.

    [I voted with my feet for this society. That took me a couple of years to learn a language, and a few more to learn a culture, both of which seem to be much shorter timescales than I expect change, whether driven by pollys or by people, to happen upon in my old, or other anglophone, societies — even with nagging.

    If you think I have more effective means than nagging, please let me know what they may be. I am generally a fan of mutual aid and direct action, but at this point believe that occasional nagging with an existence proof that there are functioning alternatives, however indirect and unmutual it may seem, is still as close as I can approach those ideals while remaining effective]
