Some veterans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan are among the Seattle-area homeless who seek the help of the Compass Center, which offers transitional housing.

Within the past year, five have been served by the center in a two-year program that offers shelter and counseling as they return to work or school, said Tracy Jones, a center program manager who spoke Tuesday at a town-hall meeting organized by U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Seattle.

"They have been out a year or so, and they've been doing drugs and alcohol, or their PTSD {post traumatic stress disorder} is so bad that their families don't want to deal with them," Jones said.

and fill the tent city with vets who have no quality of life because bush and ALL THOSE WHO VOTED FOR THE WAR broke them.

Just like MacArthur.
