Berkeley Protests Marines

you guys are stupid. these people are fighting in your name, supposedly. if people dont want that on their conscience, they should say something about it to whoever they can. just because all you guys are arm chair internet politicians and apparently moral theorists, doesnt mean they are in the wrong for speaking up for themselves. how do you support your troops? "go troops!"?? wow... thats pretty impressive. veterans make up the largest percentage of homeless people. who knew that? exactly. nice job supporting your troops.

Most homeless people are homeless due to mental illness. If state/federal government would stop cutting public health care most of them wouldn't be homeless.

You can take this from the son of a TWENTY year army vet, and on her behalf , when I say shut the fuck up.

The feds still deny agent orange and resist acceptance of PTSD diagnoses. Those people can no longer operate in society because they served their country. Now most of us turn our backs to they.

Please, if you are ignorant of the facts don't even bother forming an opinion.

ya, thats what im saying. military who are injured especially get fucked over, and most people dont know/care, yet claim to "support the troops". i never said they shouldnt be taken care of.

Just another group of people showing how ignorant and stupid they really are. It's almost as though they think a draft is happening. Anyone who wants to join the military (not even just the corps specifically) will do so, regardless of where the nearest recruitment office is. They're just making people waste gas if they close it, having to drive to the next closest one.

Go away.

Seriously. FYI A lot of zilvia members are active duty, or were at one point. So a lot of them are not just supporting the troops... They ARE the troops.

Also, yes veterans make up a percentage of the homeless population. What does that have to do with anything? Most of them are homeless because they're unable to hold down a job due to mental or physical trauma (often both), and they are homeless because 90% of the free population of this world doesn't remember/give a shit enough to, help in any way, take care of them. Are you going to tell me you donate to help disabled veterans? Ever even just bought a homeless vietnam vet lunch when he asked you for change outside the shopping mall?
