Re: Should anyone truely be homeless?

It's not a scientific survey, just what I noticed whilst living in London, either chatting whilst waiting for the bus, or when helping out at a shelter.

A lot of the homeless men living on the streets were ex-forces, and found life on civvy street difficult, especially after having their accomodation taken care of for twenty odd years. A divorce, a couple of missed mortgage payement, very often resulted in these people becoming homeless.

Frightening and quite sad really, some of their stories.
