...militaries are heavily funded and highly profitable industry for govs, but most troops are paid meager wages and require additional subsidies to feed their families (like wic/snap), while being trapped in a slave contract that breaking means destruction of reputation akin to being a "felon" and makes survival as a "civilian" nearly impossible.
THIS, plus total gov abandonment after service, is the largest reason for high populations of "#homeless #veterans", not "ptsd" or "subtance abuse"...
