he Department of Veteran Affairs announced Monday a new initiative to help get homeless veterans into bigger tents. “It’s frankly disgusting that these men and women who nobly served their country are consigned to sleeping in a cramped pop-up where they barely have room to stretch out, and we are committed to doing something about it,” said VA s
ecretary Denis McDonough, telling reporters that the initiative would aim to provide former military personnel a high-quality 3-person tent with a screened-in porch area to host guests. “Our goal is to ensure that within the next five years, every hero who is sleeping on the ground can move into a luxurious REI tent containing multiple vestibules for clothing and personal possessions.
Nice!
It's hard to laugh because it's too true.
Yeah but it’s going to take months because of all the red tape
Why do they deserve bigger tents to begin with giv them a cardboard hut on a rainy day😂😂
*but kick them out from broad shelter under bridge
This is funny and sad. Funny because it is The Onion, hilarious! Sad because some of our Veteran’s do live in these tents, for real, and I’ll bet you that some of our politicians have thought about putting them into bigger tents.
They need an assisted suicide hotline.
It's just decommissioned military field tents with bullet holes.
We need to start building bridges with little cubby holes so that homeless veterans have a place to store their medals for valor and sacrifice.
Jon Stewart made some good points about this. American society is always claiming that we 'support our troops' but you don't have to look far to see how this is a complete lie. If we really supported veterans, we wouldn't let them be sick or homeless.
Spot on!
instead of ten hut it now will be twelve hut.
Is it still satire if it's better than what's actually happening?
JuneauCurmudge1 it's a start..
There is really nothing funny about homelessness.
This ones a little to close to reality
This would literally be a better alternative to how they currently handle it: destroying the tent and then leaving them with no shelter at all
America would be better if the homeless were housed, and the politicians were homeless.
This is not even funny
I get this should be satire, but honestly, it sounds like something that the VA would actually do.
