While we’re on the subject of vets, I hate how homelessness always gets tied up with veterans. Like it’s socially acceptable to advocate for homeless veterans because “they gave their all” but your average homeless person is just SOL because fuck you get a job.
Don’t worry. It’s just nominal advocacy. They get thrown to the wolves like every other homeless person. They just get the benefit of having politicians shed a tear for a few seconds
They’re a useful example to use when convincing reactionaries to support more support for the homeless in general. Just be like, “Don’t you care about the homeless veterans?” to get them to support a universal policy.
