I can’t stand by and hold my tongue on this one…

First of all, let me say, I identify as a male submissive in the BDSM context. So, I’m definitely down with the whole Feminism idea…

With that being said, I recently found out that my stepbrother, an Air Force Veteran, who served in the Afghanistan conflict, was homeless, and had been living on the streets of St. Louis for at least 3 months. Fortunately, I’ve located him, and he’s been crashing at my apartment for the last 2 months. Hopefully, I’ll have him on his own two feet within a few more months…

Your article makes it sound like women are the only ones who have suffered homelessness after their return from war. ALL VETERANS SHARE THIS PLIGHT. Let’s turn our attention to helping ALL of our veterans. War affects more than just our women. Don’t you EVER forget that.

Patriotically,

X. Lax.

Gotta love those that quote right from the standard-VA handbook even when the situation doesn’t apply. As a matter of fact, I kind of hate that anywhere, even if you’re on the phone with your auto insurance company.

“Montoya states that during a recent visit to her local VA, she was advised that because her child was not a veteran, there would be no help in providing reliable day care for her daughter.”

Well no DUH! If the kid is young enough to need daycare, OF COURSE she’s not a veteran. What a load of bull.
