Have you any idea how many returning soldiers are living rough, on the streets of America's cities? One estimate I heard recently said about 150,000.

Higher than that! Not just returning soldiers but vets of all wars. It's appalling, but these guys have the same mental illness and/or substance abuse rates that most homeless suffer from.
It could be that historically, otherwise unemployable people went into the military, though that's not as true as it once was.
