It is one of the reasons the Russians lost so many men in WWII - Stalin had purged most of the experienced generals and it took a while to train a new cadre of military leaders.

Wed Sep 7, 2016, 09:14 PM

It's in HRC mental health care plan. She just released it a week ago. It's online and it DOES ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS.

Paragraph 1

2.
Moreover, many of these individuals have additional complicating life circumstances, such as drug or alcohol addiction, homelessness, - HillaryClinton.com


Look into it. Don't take my word for it. Give Hillary a look. She's your candidate. She addresses your concerns, as she's done for others throughout her life. But don't tell me that neither candidate doesn't have a plan. Hillary does and she's on record spelling out her specifics on it.

379. NBC & CNN love Trump !!
Thu Sep 8, 2016, 01:31 PM
Sep 2016

Trump made half a dozen statements last night at the Commander-in-Chief Forum, which in all honesty, should have disqualified him from the Presidency. Such as:

# Trump trashed the US military
# Trump made a mockery of our Military Generals
# Trump lied about his position on Iraq ... again
# Trump lied about the CIA briefing
# Trump professed his love for Putin ... again
# Trump blamed military sexual assaults on the victims

These are just a few of Trump's "WACKY" statements from last night in less than 30 minutes while fielding softball questions from Matt Lauer who was probably interviewing for show on the future Trump TV Network.

And today, all CNN is doing is talking about Hillary's statements about the emails and her statement that she will not want to place ground troops in a war against ISIS preferring instead to use other military means to defeat them once and for all.
Shame on CNN.They're trying to emulate Fox News while pretending to be impartial. America is not stupid and can see what is going on. No wonder CNN viewership is on the decline and their hosts are made a mockery on all the comedy channels.

And NBC is silent on Matt Lauer's XXX rated cozying up to Trump at the Forum !!
