When One War Meets Another

You're spinning again, Bill. Your initial displeasure with Edwards's bringing up of the homeless vets wasn't, WAS NOT, that Edwards was unfairly blaming the economy for the homelessness, wasn't, WAS NOT, the fact that Edwards was ignoring substance-abuse as a possible cause of this homelessness. Your beef, your initial beef, was strictly with Edwards's "audacity" in bringing up this issue, PERIOD! "There may be a few of them out there....but not a lot", you go. Yeah, that's right, you idiot, you were essentially denying that the problem even existed. And then, I'm saying, you have the temerity to say that you, it's you who supports the troops. What a frigging joke, huh?...............................P.S. A couple more points here, Bill. One, the 200,000 homeless vets figure, that was supplied by the V.A., not by NBC News, not by the New York Times. And, yes, two, even if 90% of those vets are in fact addicted to drugs/alcohol and/or HAVE mental illness, don't we still have an obligation to help them, bro? I mean, we can't be having the "culture war" take precedence here (i.e., over the troops), can we? CAN WE?
