[edit] Homeless claim

A vet claimed today that the US government house's "30 million homeless Vietnam veterans with PTSD."

this sounds like bull but how many vets today are homeless? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 132.241.245.49 (talk • contribs) 12:39, 30 June 2005 (UTC)

Here's what's printed in the article. "According to official sources, 2,594,000 US personnel served within the borders of South Vietnam between January 1, 1965 and March 28, 1973 and 8,744,000 US personnel were on active duty between August 5, 1964-March 28, 1973. More than 57,000 US personnel died while serving in Vietnam." 30 mil is an obvious exageration. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.208.185.63 (talk • contribs) 10:48, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
