25% of veterans are homeless or 25% of homeless are veterans or something like that.

I would have to disagree, I doubt that 25% of vetrans are homeless, the other may be true or it may be higher. But those life circumstances may or may not be related to the fact they served in the military. The reasons people are homeless or not, and some choose to stay that way has many causes, often in conjunction with alcohol and drug addiction. Most of those people with substance abuse issues have failed numerous attempts at rehab, many which were provided by the VA. At some point people need to stop blaming the system for their personal troubles and step up and accept responsibilty for their own behavior.
