Someone Please Take Bill Aside...

I liked Bill Clinton as President. I still think he is a admirable person. Although I haven't made my mind up yet, I lean ever so slightly toward voting for Hilary Clinton in the California primary.

But every time Bill Clinton stands up at a Hilary Clinton campaign event and speaks about "I," "me," and "us" on her behalf he starts to lose me, and I know he is losing a lot of other potential voters for his wife's candidacy. Bill, you aren't running for President. At least you shouldn't be.

New Generation of Homeless Vets Emerges

From an article in SFGate:

This is not a new story in America: A young veteran back from war whose struggle to rejoin society has failed, at least for the moment, fighting demons and left homeless.

But it is happening to a new generation. As the war in Afghanistan plods on in its seventh year, and the war in Iraq in its fifth, a new cadre of homeless veterans is taking shape.

And with it come the questions: How is it that a nation that became so familiar with the archetypal homeless, combat-addled Vietnam veteran is now watching as more homeless veterans turn up from new wars?

What lessons have we not learned? Who is failing these people? Or is homelessness an unavoidable byproduct of war, of young men and women who devote themselves to serving their country and then see things no man or woman should?
