The document discusses the neglect faced by American veterans upon returning home from war. It describes how veterans often struggle with mental health issues, drug and alcohol abuse, and violence due to their untreated trauma. As a result, many veterans are rejected by their families and have difficulty finding jobs. This leads to high rates of homelessness among veterans. However, the document notes that attitudes began to change in the 1980s, as communities and the government took steps to support and honor veterans through initiatives like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and increased access to healthcare and housing assistance.

“Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions—The Eyes of all our Countrymen are now upon us.”
General George Washington, General Orders, July 2, 1776
This document discusses women veterans, their experiences serving in the military, and their unique needs and challenges. It notes that while women veterans share many of the same issues as male veterans, such as physical and mental health consequences of service, they also have distinct experiences. It provides statistics on the growing population of women currently serving and as veterans. It then examines some key issues women veterans face, including mental health conditions like PTSD and depression, substance abuse, homelessness, and higher rates of suicide than non-veteran women. Resources for supporting women veterans are also mentioned.
This document summarizes the challenges faced by American veterans returning from wars in the Middle East. Over 1.5 million veterans have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan facing issues like PTSD, serious injuries, and difficulties finding employment. Non-profit organizations like Wounded Warrior Project aim to help veterans by providing support services, but veterans still struggle with homelessness and other hardships at disproportionately high rates. The document traces the origins and timelines of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that have produced these veterans over the last decade.
The document summarizes the results of an annual survey of American Jewish opinion conducted by the American Jewish Committee (AJC). Key findings include:
1) American Jews are generally pessimistic about developments in the Middle East like the Arab Spring, Iran's nuclear program, and Arab intentions regarding Israel.
2) Half of American Jews favor establishing a Palestinian state but most believe the long-term Arab goal is the destruction of Israel.
3) The vast majority of American Jews remain very concerned about Iran obtaining nuclear weapons, though support for potential military action has declined.
4) Caring about Israel remains an important part of Jewish identity for most American Jews, though opinions vary by denomination and age.
The Jay County High School baseball team lost 7-1 to the Wayne Generals in the Class 4A Sectional 6 semifinal. The Generals scored 4 runs in the third inning aided by two errors from the Patriots. Jay County struggled to get hits and runners in scoring position throughout the game. They left 6 runners stranded and only managed 1 run in the 7th inning. The loss ends the Patriots' season with a record of 11-14 and they have not won a sectional championship since 2007.

President Obama originally proposed requiring veterans to carry private health insurance to cover the $540 billion annual cost of treating military injuries. However, after facing significant backlash and criticism, including from comedian Jon Stewart, Obama abandoned the proposal. He expressed surprise at the magnitude of opposition, saying the volunteers knew the risks of war and should help reduce the national deficit. But providing health insurance to undocumented immigrants while requiring veterans to pay drew more criticism of mismanaging America.
The document provides a summary of recent news stories, including:
1) An Army investigation into allegations that a platoon leader in Alaska encouraged soldiers to use racial slurs against each other on "Racial Thursdays" to build morale.
2) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backing away from his pre-election vow to oppose a Palestinian state, saying he still supports a two-state solution under different circumstances.
3) Former Congressman Barney Frank expressing concern that Netanyahu's hardline positions could undermine Israel's relations with the U.S. and other countries.
The document lists 47 deaths of individuals connected to Bill Clinton and his administration. Many of these deaths were deemed suicides but others questioned the official rulings. The deaths detailed include former Clinton business partners, associates, and potential witnesses involved in various investigations related to Clinton.
The document summarizes an event at Fort Meade where a Holocaust survivor, David Bayer, spoke about his experiences. Some key details:
- Bayer, age 92, is a survivor of Auschwitz-Birkenau and now volunteers at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
- He gave a keynote speech at Fort Meade's 14th annual Holocaust Days of Remembrance observance.
- When asked how the Holocaust should be remembered, Bayer held up his fist and said "Don't just make a fist - use it. I've felt guilty all my life that I didn’t use my fist against the Germans."
- The event featured kosher food and musical

George Floyd's death has sparked global outrage over racism. While progress has been made since colonialism and apartheid, racism remains deeply ingrained in many societies through economic, social, and psychological dimensions that reinforce inequality. To combat racism, governments and citizens must acknowledge its existence, give voice to marginalized communities, promote respect for diversity, and condemn all acts of intolerance through education, laws, and policies that promote equality and human rights for all.
The document discusses interviews with black photojournalists documenting the Black Lives Matter protests. The photojournalists wanted to control the narrative and show the protests from a black perspective. They felt documenting the movement was important to show solidarity and the need for change. One journalist said photographing black people's humanity is the best way to help. The interviews also discussed how emotional and inspiring it was for the photojournalists to witness the protests and the protesters' displays of passion and dedication.
The document discusses the controversial history of blood donation policies in the US, which have at times discriminated against African Americans and gay/bisexual men. During WWII, black and white blood was separated due to a racist military policy, despite evidence that blood does not differ by race. During the AIDS crisis in the 1980s, many doctors were reluctant to investigate the disease because it initially affected gay men. The FDA instituted a lifetime ban on blood donations from gay and bisexual men in 1983 due to homophobia and unfounded fears, even as other countries have since reformed similar discriminatory policies. Critics argue the ban is an ineffective and discriminatory way to screen donors compared to assessing individual risk behaviors.
This document summarizes the history and development of American football from its origins in the late 19th century to the present. It discusses how the sport grew enormously in popularity in the early 20th century but also faced criticism due to its violence and injuries. It then outlines the current concerns about long-term health issues in former players like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and painkiller abuse, which some argue could threaten the future of the sport. The document concludes by noting the NFL's acknowledgement of head injuries and its settlement of a related lawsuit.
The document discusses statistics related to homelessness among veterans in the United States. It notes that the average age of enlistment is 19, and over half of homeless veterans suffer from mental illness or substance abuse. Roughly 76,000 veterans experience homelessness each night, and veterans are more likely to become homeless than non-veterans due to factors like poverty and lack of support. The document calls for support for veterans who risked their lives serving in the military.
Essay about the violence and sexual assault in the us military womenPaulo Arieu
This document discusses violence and sexual assault against women in the US military. It reports that as more women serve in combat roles, reports of sexual violence have increased. Statistics show sexual assault rates against military women range from 4.2-7.3% for active duty and 11-48% for veterans. The number of reported sexual assault cases increased by 26% from 2007-2008 and another 33% from 2009-2010. Despite increased awareness, many cases still go unreported due to fears of retaliation.
This document is a "Contract with America's Heroes" signed by 65 political leaders across the United States pledging support for American servicemen. It establishes several funds to honor fallen and disabled soldiers, support their families and veterans, and ensure prisoners of war are not abandoned. The leaders commit to never surrendering to enemies and leaving soldiers behind.
Media Portrayal of Brothers Divided by the Civil Warnaomimk
This document summarizes how newspapers portrayed divided brothers fighting on opposing sides during the Civil War and how their portrayals changed over time. Early in the war, newspapers presented brothers' disagreements as demonstrations of loyalty to one's cause. Later, as public support waned, stories focused more on the emotional toll, highlighting reunions and deaths. After the war, literature emphasized reconciliation by portraying mothers who loved both sons equally.
Voters embraced Barack Obama's message of change and hope, electing him as the first African American president in U.S. history. Obama defeated Republican John McCain, taking key battleground states like Ohio and Florida. While Obama's victory represented a historic moment, he now faces significant challenges as president-elect in addressing the economic crisis, ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and leading a Democratic party eager for swift change.
US economy sinks 4.8% amid coronavirus shutdownsAadeshRajput1
The US economy suffered its most severe contraction in more than a decade in the first quarter of the year, as the country introduced lockdowns to slow the spread of coronavirus.
Protests have emerged in the US against lockdown measures implemented to curb the spread of the coronavirus. While some protesters argue the lockdowns infringe on civil liberties, others see the protests as politically motivated by conservatives seeking to undermine Democratic governors and blame others for the economic impact of the pandemic. Public health experts warn lifting restrictions too early could worsen outbreaks, but politicians are facing pressure to reopen economies despite hundreds still dying daily in the US.
This document is a publication called Veterans' Vision that provides summaries of articles written by prominent politicians and experts on issues related to veterans and public policy. It contains an overview of the publication's history and mission, lists of past political figures who have contributed articles, and previews of upcoming articles on topics like veterans' healthcare, benefits, unemployment, and political endorsements. The publication appears aimed at informing readers who care about veterans' issues and influencing upcoming elections.
Kellie Spann organized a 5K run to raise money for homeless veterans as her senior project. Her research found that over 250,000 veterans are homeless on any given night in the US, with 23% of the homeless population being male veterans and 3% being female veterans. She planned the race, obtaining permission, designing t-shirts, and setting up the course. On the day of the race, bad weather occurred and most runners left for safety, but she still raised $109.31 which she donated to a Veteran Support Organization. While organizing such a large event was challenging, she was glad to raise money for veterans.
This document summarizes research on homelessness among veterans. It finds that veterans who served during peacetime after the Korean War and before the Vietnam War have disproportionately high rates of homelessness compared to other veterans and non-veterans. Research identifies a cohort of veterans who joined the military after 1974 under the new all-volunteer force as being particularly at risk. Risk factors for this group include lower socioeconomic backgrounds, fewer family ties, and higher rates of behavioral issues and substance abuse prior to service. The research also shows that older veterans, unmarried veterans, and those without VA compensation or Medicaid are additionally vulnerable to homelessness.
This document is a paper on homelessness written by Colin Henry for his SOCS 185 course. It discusses various aspects of homelessness including definitions, causes, demographics of the homeless population, personal experiences, economics, social attitudes, and potential solutions. The paper examines trends over the last 20-30 years that have contributed to rising homelessness such as a shortage of affordable housing, stagnating wages, cuts to welfare programs, and a growing impersonality in how government agencies address the issue.

The document discusses homelessness and its causes. It notes that homelessness means more than just not having a place to sleep and can disrupt one's connections, education, and health. Common causes of homelessness include being released from the hospital or prison with no home, inability to afford housing costs, family crises, and inability to pay rent. It is difficult to determine the total number of homeless people but it is estimated that 1 in 3 are under 18, with 1.6-1.7 million youth experiencing homelessness annually. The document urges helping the homeless through donations of money or kindness, and not forgetting about their plight.

Neglected Veterans
American soldiers experience tragedy upon tragedy and are haunted by the daunting
sights they see during war. They leave behind lives of luxury in which American civilians are
living while the young, the old, and the experienced young soldiers are fighting to privilege that
lifestyle to them. They live and die by America’s freedom and see to it that that independence is
not lost, for they are the only reason America still holds on to its liberty. They fight for their lives
and the lives of their compatriots, too, yet what they get in return is a long life of fear and
loneliness. Their veteran lives are composed of haunting memories and paranoid reactions in
response to their slowed-down veteran lives. All war veterans suffer one way or another when
they arrive back to their home country for peace and settlement; however, they suffer most from
the negligence and abandonment from their countrymen and even their own family members and
friends.
Naturally, when people have problems they need with discuss to someone, they tell their
closest friends or family members for support. However, on one hand, when veterans go back to
live at their native home, they find that none of their loved ones can understand their pain and
trauma that they are grieving from. They cannot explain their indescribable experiences, nor can
they bear to relive those occurrences. On the other hand, many Americans ignore veterans
because they would rather not speak of their nation’s disasters, and the veterans are an “…
uncomfortable reminder of a subject no one wanted to speak about” (“America Since the War
2. (1976–Present)”). Because of this, it is easy for American civilians to degrade veterans. As
mentioned in America Since the War (1976-Present), “…movies and television shows typically
portrayed [veterans] as pitiful, drug-addicted losers or homicidal maniacs.” As a result of this
lack of understanding, ignorance, and dehumanization in their most desperate time of need,
veterans develop depression, and they feel absolutely alone.
In response to their loneliness, a substantially large amount of veterans try to escape their
pain by drinking it away or getting high on drugs so that they cannot physically or emotionally
feel it. Upon returning home, many American veterans become alcoholics. Studies show that
“heavy drinking in the military has been an accepted custom and tradition” (Bray). Usually, in
the follow up months of a war screenings result in close to 27% of veterans reported for alcohol
abuse. Along side with heavy drinking, drug abuse is a huge problem among American war
veterans. According to Military, Drug and Alcohol Abuse in the United States, 20% of America’s
ex-soldiers of the Vietnam War have used narcotics, and an additional 20% have been reported
for addiction. The same percentage pertains to most of America’s wars. Resulting from the
alcohol and drug abuse among American veterans, mental illness drives a sufficiently ample
amount of them crazy. In a news video on CNN, Dr. Sanjay Gupta states, “As many as one in
three soldiers returning from Iraq or Afghanistan suffers from traumatic brain injury, severe
depression, substance abuse, or P.T.S.D.” (A veteran's descent). Test results proclaim, “in
another study of returning soldiers, clinicians identified 20 percent of active and 42 percent of
reserve component soldiers as requiring mental health treatment. Drug or alcohol use frequently
accompanies mental health problems and was involved in 30 percent of the Army's suicide
deaths from 2003 to 2009 and in more than 45 percent of non-fatal suicide attempts from 2005 to
2009” (National Institute on Drug Abuse). Because of this adoption of heavy alcohol and drug
3. abuse, and the mental health issues that result from that abuse, families disown their brave
troopers.
Additionally, instead of welcoming their beloved soldiers, families disown them because
they are afraid of the violence that is brought home with the soldiers. Naturally, it is hard
transitioning from eating a hot pizza to drinking ice cold water; most of the time, this transition
results in extreme pain among a person’s teeth. Likewise, veterans struggle with their
expectation to transition from a violent, bloody, every-man-for-himself lifestyle of wars to
peaceful, slow, and routine lives of average American civilians. The Blue of California
Foundation has researched and has reported, “81% of [all American ex-combatants perform
some sort of violence towards their families]” (Preventing Violence in the Homes). Some
veterans subconsciously act violently towards their loved ones; sometimes, they have PTSD
episodes where they are in a trance-like state and practically dream they are harming their ex-
combat enemies when in reality, they are wounding their own spouse, child, sibling, and
sometimes even their own parents. Others, however, do not know how to leave the violence they
have accumulated through the military on the battlefields, and so they continue to use it on their
families when they arrive home. Subsequently, depression occurs because they feel like they are
monsters because they have injured or killed men and their family members. Consequently,
families tend to disown their relatives who come back from wars due to the danger their lives
would be in.
Apart from the emotional tolls that causes families to disregard their own countryman
that patriotically risk their lives for the protection of their country, the American society as a
whole has developed habits of overlooking those veterans as well. After being rejected by their
dearest comrades, they also struggle to find jobs. During an interview with a female Iraq War
4. veteran, a CNN reporter explains, “the unemployment rate for recent veterans, [11.7%], is higher
than the national average, [9.1%]. With a jobless rate of 14.7% September, [2011], female
veterans have faired worse than their male counterparts” (Henry, Jones, and Helman). As also
justified in this interview, some veterans can not find jobs because they do not know how to fill
out a resume due to the fact they have never had to fill one out before, and people so not care to
help them. Others, however, struggle to find a job because managers do not wish to hire veterans
because of their history of excessive alcohol and drug use, mental illnesses, and violence and
abuse. Statistical studies assert, “The jobless rate for veterans of all eras combined [is] 8.7
percent” ("Employment Situation of Veterans"). On top of being friendless and loveless by their
dearest loved ones because of their unutterable experiences, their drug and alcohol intake, their
insanity, and their violence they carry home alongside them, the American society altogether
pushes them away and leaves them jobless.
As a result from being jobless, veterans are left broke, and homelessness in America
increases greatly during and after wars. A statistics article affirms, “about one-third of the adult
homeless population are veterans…[the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs] estimates that
131,000 veterans are homeless on any given night” ("Homelessness Overview"). Without
affordable housing, livable income and access to healthcare, veterans desperately search daily to
find shelter. Stemming from the rise in homelessness among veterans, United States citizens
thought of veterans as even more of a burden to America.
Although negligence of American veterans is very common, attitudes towards the
Vietnam War veterans began to change in the early 1980s. Veteran support became a popular
topic among some of the nation’s political leaders, such as Ronald Reagan, who announced that
the effort in Vietnam was a noble cause and that the veterans deserve America’s gratitude,
5. respect, and continuing concern. A sense of appreciation for the servicemen began to grow in the
United States, and American communities initiated taking steps to make up for their previous
treatment and behavior towards veterans. As stated in the article America Since the War (1976-
Present), “The single biggest factor in America's changing perception of its Vietnam veterans
was the creation of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, [which contained the names of all
Americans killed in Vietnam.” The Vietnam Veterans Memorial created a wave of admiration
among American inhabitants for the country’s servicemen. Alongside the construction of this
memorial, the media started to portray veterans differently from how they formerly presented
them. Indicated in a Vietnam War follow-up research article, “unlike earlier works, many of the
books, films, and television shows of the 1980s portrayed veterans in a positive or even heroic
way” ("America Since the War (1976–Present)"). As far as drug and alcohol abuse, since 1981,
drug testing has been conducted on soldiers entering the military and veterans coming home
from war, and alcohol rehabilitation therapy has been offered to all American war veterans who
need it. Mental health facilities, such as the Atlanta VA Medical Center and the Blue Shield of
California foundatin, have also been opened up for veterans specifically, which also help with
reducing violence in homecoming veterans. Housing systems, such as the National Veterans Park
in Las Angeles, have been built specifically for the shelter of veterans. Measures are still being
taken to help end the unnecessary unemployment of veterans. A recent unemployment press
release pronounces, “[To help encourage hiring of veterans,] the Returning Heroes Tax Credit
provides firms that hire unemployed veterans with a maximum credit of $5,600 per veteran. The
Wounded Warriors Tax Credit offers firms that hire veterans with service-connected disabilities
with a maximum credit of $9,600 per veteran. The three executive announcements that Obama
will make include a new online service to help veterans find work; creating a veterans job bank;
6. and a veterans "gold card" granting them special services and care at career centers” ("Obama to
Announce"). Another recent press release proclaims, “The first initiative [Obama has set forth]
will encourage community health centers to hire 8,000 veterans over the next three years. The
second will improve training opportunities for military medics to become physician assistants”
("Obama Plans to Lift"). Finally, generous actions have been taken by American societies since
the 1980s to ensure the health and support of their country’s military participants.
All things considered, negligence of returning soldiers has been an escalating issue in
America for decades up until the 1980s. Inattention to troupers has substantially decreased since
measures have been taken.
