I have never met a homeless vet...but have met many that claimed to be. Everyone knows the vet stereotype will get you a few bucks extra from suckers.
The standards are pretty high in the military. Briefly, in the mid 70's after the draft and the GI Bill went away, they were not as picky. As Gacook said, for decades, they have needed to be high school grad, no drugs, no trouble with police, not overweight or with medical issues. Most of them leave with at least two years of college and a skill. many have degrees.
Anyone living under a bridge that is not physically or mentally handicapped likely brought it on themselves.

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
