James EggemeyerAnyone interested in learning about how Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are becoming homeless may want to check out this profile of Specialist James Eggemeyer I wrote for Inter Press Service.

It shows how soldiers coming home from the war-zone experience "death by a thousand cuts" from the Defense Department and VA. How does a 25 year old war veteran end up living out of his truck? Bureaucratic indifference is a big part of it.
