The treatment and neglect of ex-military personnel is often shocking, and the same problems exist in the UK too. Many of the homeless rough-sleepers here once served in our armed forces.
Best wishes, Pete.

We need to end war. I’m grateful to those who have fougnt. But no one should have to fight, except the men who decide we should go to war. They alone, the bullies that they are, can fight among themselves and leave everyone else alone.
