i saw this the other day (here jsut was too lazy to logon) and all i have to say is
#1 big deal this type of stuff happens every day, the ony difference is it doesn't always get publicized/ it happens in a foreing country no one cares about, ie: my homeland mexico
#2 hey it just comes to show that parents don't raise their kids well enough
#3 wether i agree with war efforts or not (now with iraq, and past times like afghanistan) i still feel that the goverment misuses ppl for their "projects to make the world a better place" because they don't get the respect and treatment they deserve when they return home
#4 at least the old man is still alive, (I'm assuming that hes a vet from like vietnam because he's 60) and that's more than he could of hoped for seeing as how he is old and due to battle stress (^^vietnam - homeless vets are usually homeless because of their experiences they can't keep a steady job and stuff like that leading to being homeless) he could die any moment from a stroke or something
