support the troops, just not the vets

the iraq and aghanistan veterans association is miffed at bill o'luffa for underplaying the number of homeless vets:

last night, in reference to our nation's homeless veterans, 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.”
he raises an important issue. unfortunately, he got the facts wrong.

according to the u.s. department of veterans affairs, almost 200,000 veterans are homeless on any given night in america, accounting for about one-third of the adult homeless population.

sign the open letter to bill o'reilly, and urge him to set the record straight.
