How shameful is this news station is to treat this man in such a judgemental way. He's obviously doing his best to hold onto to his dignity in hard circumstances.

[@kayanab5188]

Right, the news report was realt shady. The reporter acted like he almost hurt him to say he was a Veteran. Unfortunately, here in our Veterans aren’t treated the best.. Hell the average citizen is treated with respect

[@skeleton1765]

Nope. I’m a man, but life as a woman is dangerous enough without having to walk past homeless shacks to get home. You people need to rub your two brain cells together and make a cohesive thought. What if two things are true at the same time? 1. This veteran is nice and needs to be taken care of until he can get on his feet. 2. It’s unacceptable to build a structure, whether it’s on wheels or not, on public or private property without permission. You don’t get to break the rules because you are homeless.

[@Unchainedful]

The VA actually does find services and housing for you. If you are on low to no income while in the military, the VA offers you free housing and a federal job to get you on your feet, the housing is temporary until a nearby military installation has housing available or whenever you feel ready to take a VA house loan. The only rules you must follow while spieling with the VA is that you must not be on any form of federal illegal drugs or prescriptions. Normal homeless housing is terrible and is worse than living on the streets, VA homelessness housing is a lot better and actually treats you as a human being.

There were people who were ok with him being there. Those anchors go to their homes at night blessed with all those things and yes they earn a salary because of news reports such as this. They believe they are paid what they are worth because of their experience, knowledge and skills. Why isn't that same monetary value placed on our veterans with their knowledge, expertise, experience and skills. There is no monetary value high enough for someone risking their lives for their country and it's freedoms, something those anchors wouldn't have if individuals like this gentleman hadn't served.
