Homelessness and personal responsibility

facebook comment on homelessness:

 ... The excuse of "personal responsibility" is just a reason to "let people die homeless in the streets" and it is an willful "personal blindness". Most homeless have experienced severe personal trauma and have never recovered, or cannot ever recover (as in physical injury). Nobody helped them when they needed help. evidence: In the 1980's most all the homeless were Vietnam Veterans. Their lives were so destroyed by WAR, that they could not adapt back into society and they died in the streets. Nobody helped them and nobody cared. It was NOT their fault. (Aside: More Vietnam Veterans have died by suicide than actually were killed in the war. There was nobody to help them either,and nobody cared. ) Your callous and cold-hearted appraisal shows your own lack of awareness and lack of genuine human concern. Sorry.
