The U.S. military has experienced aggressive deployments in recent years. These deployments, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan, are usually associated with health, psychological and housing problems. For current purposes, focus remains on homelessness as one post-discharge problem a significant number of veterans experiences. The scope of homelessness is, if anything, unsettling from at least two perspectives. First, homelessness is not properly reported. Upon discharge, inactive service men and women are left out in a civil life completely different from a military one. Fearing negative impact on military career or special benefits gained after discharge, veterans do not report a ...
