Some welcome home we've given our homeless vets

I hope the decision whether to drag out the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and commit more troops takes all of the costs into account. Here are some fun facts to consider:

One in three adult homeless males is a veteran and 45 percent of those suffer from mental illness, according to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans.

A recent report in the New England Journal of Medicine, meanwhile, found that one in four veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan were diagnosed with some kind of mental health problem.

And those are just the ones who found their way to a VA hospital. Many don't.

Also, this.
