What Cannuck is trying to do here is distract from the fact that he opened his mouth before thinking and he's too much of a wimp to stand up and admit it.
The key issues that separate homeless veterans from homeless civilians are the circumstances which brought them to either mental or substance abuse issues. Civilian authorities are not equipped to understand these issues, because they have not been tasked with treatment for combat soldiers. It is a whole other kettle of fish. It is also one with which I have been involved on a personal level.
Ignorance of the subject is not a sin, but trying to marginalize it to save ones fragile ego is kind of despicable.
Here's a thread about that.

Why don't we just deal with the homeless problem regardless of the career choice (or lack of career choice) of the homeless people.
