As mentioned above, it’s going to be related to other factors. Either prior to service or service connected. That said, homelessness is a vague term that I don’t necessarily understand. If one lives in a conversion van, they are homeless, even if they’re not. All the retirees must be homeless at the FamCamp…? It’s political. Same with food insecurity.
I think it’s an interesting statistical comparison between the suicide rate of deployed vs non deployed… that really gets into the meat and potatoes of this issue.
