Not long ago, Pfc. Herold Noel proudly rumbled through the Iraqi desert with the first wave of American troops.

Today, he rambles through the streets of Brooklyn in an SUV looking for a place to sleep.

The 25-year-old father of four, who suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder and has been homeless for the better part of six months, may represent the beginning of a wave of troops returning from battle with no place to go.

"When I was in Iraq, I was fighting a war for the American dream," Noel told The Post. "Now, I'm fighting a different kind of war, but it's still a war for survival."

2. I'll echo what Randi Rhodes has been saying:

"Republicans support the war, but not the troops"
How sad :(

3. I just heard on the news that a soldier rather then go back to Iraq

started a conflict with police and killed an officer and was killed himself. When these people come home they are going to be pretty messed up.
