Homeless Vets To Get Jackets From Airports
Leave a jacket behind at an airport checkpoint and it could find its way to a homeless veteran. The House has passed a bill sponsored by Rep. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) requiring the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs to donate unclaimed clothing to homeless veterans. The bill now goes to the Senate. TSA has its own agreements with states over what to do with leftover items. The agency told The Washington Post that travelers forget about 850 pieces of clothing each day at airport checkpoints. Meanwhile, VA said about 75,000 vets are homeless.

why in the hell are 75,000 vets homeless?!
Yeah, screw the jackets; lets get these people HOMES!!!!!
Their not. It's window dressing. Putting lipstick on a pig. Holiday season makes you feel all warm inside and warmer thinking you helped a vet.
850 x 365days = 310,250 pieces of clothing. The homeless should be well dressed group of people. All they need is to wait for obama care to kick in.

Your bizarre logic is wrong, of course.
The most obvious is the articles of clothing you lump all together regardless of sex. And then of course is the location of the airports that are scattered about the country.
They say there are 75K homeless vets, you say there are not. We are to believe you? Why? Where are your facts, sources, anything?
Try again or sit the hell down.
But they are "heroes"! At least when its time to chant "USA! USA! USA!"....when the cameras disappear, they go back to the shelter, under the park bench, or just fade away and die. obama ain't losing any sleep. Its pretty nice in the White House and Hawaii.
I'm not sure but I doubt ANY vet would cheer USA nowadays, especially with who is their CIC.
And that's probably why their ballots never counted.
