How Could We have Subjected So Many of Our Veterans to a Homecoming of Despair...
How Could this have Happened to so Many for so Long?

First, it was the Viet Nam Vets, now the Iraq Veterans are suffering...and many surviving Viet Nam Vets are STILL suffering...
Personally, I would like to see an initiative to upgrade
the VA Home Loan Guarantee Program for Veterans who are 30% or more
disabled, to provide them with an interest-free loan unrelated to
credit status.
I think the lack thereof has been a big reason why many vets wind-up on
the streets after a war...they are young, they didn't have any credit
when they went into the Service and don't have any credit when they get
out. Beyond this, they may be physically or emotionally scarred from
their war experience and where they end up is usually on the streets
because their families can't handle them. For no more reason than this, our servicemen and women need and deserve to have a place of their own to go to when they return home from war.
I also think that the current Home Loan Guarantee Program for Vets is
pretty-much a sham because of the credit requirements which can become
a 'glass window' for many disabled vets who don't have credit when they
get out of the service...
...in many ways, a VA Loan is no better than a regular loan for any other citizen of the country.
I think we can do better for our Veterans.
The inability to get into a home when one gets out of the service can lead to the street, despair and suicide for many of our veterans.
Is this the way the Nation should be treating its heroes?
'You've got to have an address to get a job and as long as a
Vet is willing to work the Nation should also be able to guarantee that
a Vet gets a job with dignity for as long as he lives.'
If we can't, then we should stop using our young men and women in the service as an extension of our foreign policy.
John McCain is the Right Candidate for America because he understands what's best for America and its veterans!
He understands, because he's 'been there, done that!'
Nobody understands the plight of a veteran and the military better than a military man or veteran himself.
