I don't know which agency developed the data. But, given that a lot of research comes in with a + - 2-4%, I'd guess the data may be more substantial than we like to know and believe.

It would not be 40 % of all veterans. That's absurd. Perhaps 40 % of all Vietnam veterans.....that might make some sense, or be somewhat close to the real numbers for that tragedy. That one I could tend to believe. Scott Turbovans, Vietnam era veteran, and air force brat growing up, and darn proud I live in a barn/shop/art studio/ vanagon engine conversation facility. 'fringe dweller' is the fun term for it !

I read the 1 in 4 yesterday in our state-wide (VT) Gannett paper, and heard in on one of the media "news" programs last evening.

Figure my girlfriend quotes is 40% of the homeless are veterans. All these numbers don't quite jibe.
