There may be fewer homeless veterans in the UK than you’d think - but figures don’t tell the whole story

I make no claim that it is completely accurate. I do know that in the USA there are many homeless veterans though. I am an American citizen born to into an Army family. This is the reason that this situation touches my heart. "Why are veterans homeless in the UK?
According to Sir Andrew Gregory, chief executive of forces charity SSAFA, the issues facing veterans often stem from difficulties in adapting to civilian life after years spent with a regimented lifestyle where many day-to-day tasks are already taken care of. This can then result in the “eight Ds”: drink, debt, drugs, divorce, depression, domestic violence, dependency culture, and “digs”, meaning accommodation."
