Maybe its that Americans make a big show out of attempts to take care of troops. They send care packages, and everyone cares when they first get home, with homecoming parades and organizations popping up left and right to ease their transition. A few months after returning home... the support is usually gone, except the feel good stories of hope and triumph, or the real heart breaking ones.
Also, the homeless ones... they are the ones that got lost in the system, didn't know where to go for help.. and are usually mentally ill.
