Young veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are having a harder time finding a job than their peers who didn’t serve in the military.

Last year, about one in six veterans between 20 and 24 was jobless, nearly double the rate for nonveterans their age.

2. Support our troops!

Until they come home, then give them less benefits so the rich can keep more of their wealth.

3. Homeless vets from the war zones are showing up

As to the PTSD one out of four coming home have it bad. Don't even think these kids are being taken care of at the VA. Fact 600,000 veterans last year alone denied or put on huge waiting list

4. no shit-many,like my kid,refuse to pursue the VA system because of the

freaking wait and red tape.These war criminals(bush and rumsfeld) need to get on their knees and apologize to every soldier who fought for a lie.Bastards.

5. No jobs availably, re-enlist!

Don't think that this admin, doesn't consider this as a re-enlistment tool.
