Meet the New Veterans... Same As the Old Veterans

A few weeks ago I posted a vignette describing my experience on a train to San Francisco involving a young veteran. Seems like he is not alone. In this article in the Air Force Times we learn that the jobless rate for this new crop of veterans is 11% - more than double the average for the country. What happened a generation ago to the shopping cart soldiers was shameless. If we let it happen again, it will be reprehensible.
