Collateral damage: War veterans struggle to fit back into society

As U.S.M.C. Major General Smedley Butler said;"War Is A Racket"!  http://www.lexrex.com/enlightened/articles/warisaracket.htm

Homeless and feeling helpless, Joshua Crowell called Veterans Affairs to say he felt like killing himself.
Three months earlier, a friend had driven the 23-year-old Army veteran to the gates of Fort Bragg and dropped him off. Crowell had been booted out of the Army on an other-than-honorable discharge for misconduct.
"That meant I lost my college, I lost my unemployment, I lost everything I'd worked for," Crowell said.   http://www.fayobserver.com/articles/2011/09/25/1123535?sac=Mil
