A new addition to the homeless, American Veterans

On a recent 60 minutes broadcast I saw where some of our American Vet's have joined the Unemployed, and the Mentally ill, and are now part of a new "American" society: The Homeless. Many of these people were a productive part of our society and have ended up on the streets through no fault of their own. Although our government can spend billions on wars in the name of "Democracy", we can't afford to take care of our own citizens? How hypocritical is that? How  un-"American" is that? How can we police the world in the name of "Democracy" when we don't seem t have democracy in our own country anymore? Our government's largest expenditure is on war and killing. THEY are supposed to take care of US, that's what WE pay THEM to do! This is a disgrace.
