6. National news show...
can't remember which (Dateline, 20/20, etc.) did an expose on this and interviewed the vet who came home missing a limb (or two), who'd lost his job because he wasn't able to do it due to his handicap and was now living in his car. To make matters worse, the government was suing him to reclaim the couple thousand dollar sign up bonus he was given to re-enlist (and then was seriously injured a few weeks later) stating he didn't fulfill his end of the contract. They had apparently ruined his credit enough that he lost his home and he as unable to rent anywhere because of the bad credit rating.

Gotta love our president who says we "support our troops". uh huh.
