Veterans' "Suicide Epidemic"

A CBS News investigation finds that the suicide rate for US military veterans is "more than double the suicide rate for those who haven't served."

Homeless Veterans

One in four homeless people in the United States are veterans. Nearly half of those homeless veterans have a diagnosable mental illness. One Iraq War veteran tells Associated Press reporter Kimberly Hefling: "The only training I have is infantry training and there's not really a need for that in the civilian world."
