As a vet I have a high value on things some people probably dont. My thought is dont let one rotten apple ruin the barrel.
BUT our brother may need some help. There are many programs and groups that can help. You just have to ask. I would hope he can get help and a mission moving forward.
stolen valor, check youtube for that term for some amusement
there are plenty of real vets putting out stereotypes too so the fake ones prolly not making that much difference lol

It’d be interesting to see stats on whether vets do crimes at materially different rates than their associated groups.
Maybe it’s newsworthy because military and vets are “held to a different standard.”

Thanks guys. So if 5.9% of federal inmates and 7.9% of state inmates are vets but 13% of adults are vets, then lower rates ya? At least at macro level?

Update for newer data (vet population decreased rapidly in 10 years). Apparently pop is ~7% which would put vet incarceration roughly in line with pop in general ?

I think a sad view I learned more and more post separation was that you’re either a homeless statistic, a suicide statistic, a jail statistic, or not one at all. Just try to keep it that way.
we bad!
I happen to think its bullshit. Anywhere the media can take a shot at a supposed vet and the next sentence is see that why vets don't need to have access to firearms their dangerous people. Bullshit.
