: the 13th jurorDownplaying the number of homeless vets
By Jacqueline Dowd
John Edwards? claim that 200,000 veterans ?will go to sleep under bridges and on grates? because they are homeless continues to draw challenges from Bill O'Reilly.
But Edwards is correct. Homelessness amongst veterans is an enduring and heartbreaking reality that is well documented
Nevertheless, Bill O'Reilly said: ?They may be out there, but there?s not many of them out there. Okay? ... If you know where there's a veteran sleeping under a bridge, you call me immediately, and we will make sure that man does not do it.?
I'm afraid the translation is: We?ll throw him in jail where he belongs ...
The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America have launched a petition to tell Bill he was wrong.
