http://freethoughtblogs.com/butterfliesandwheels/2012/03/homeless-vets-letem-starve/So a group of secular and atheist military servicemen wanted to hold a fundraiser for homeless veterans because this:
23% of the homeless population are veterans 33% of the male homeless population are veterans 47% served Vietnam-era 17% served post-Vietnam 15% served pre-Vietnam 67% served three or more years 33% were stationed in war zone 25% have used VA homeless services 85% completed high school/GED, compared to 56% of non-veterans 89% received an honorable discharge 79% reside in central cities 16% reside in suburban areas 5% reside in rural areas 76% experience alcohol, drug or mental health problems 46% are white males, compared to 34% of non-veterans 46% are age 45 or older, compared to 20% non-veterans.
However, Fort Bragg has denied them based on their policy. Except. . . Fort Bragg is the same fort that allowed Rock the Fort, an evangelical Christian proselytizing event (which had controversy as servicemen were force to go to them) collect donations for their cause of evangelizing soldiers. DOUBLE FUCKING STANDARDS.
