#3 Flag down:

Painting vets with a kak brush. 8 percent and 5 percent point to a huge problem? WTF? What about the other 92 and 95 percent (oh wait!). Why are we concentrating on 5 the percenters ?

What are the root causes ?

...As a former recruiter, I'd want to see a detailed breakdown of how many of the imprisoned ones had issues with law enforcement before they came in.

It won't be the only reason, but it'll be a big one.

/\ No mention of the hundreds of thousands possibly millions of success stories. No mention of the poor bugger from nowhere-ville who was busting down truck tires in a gas station or waiting tables at a diner. He or she had little hope of upward mobility or success until they entered the service, learned how to weld, drive a D9 or 5 ton, went to night school, ended up with a college degree and an MA.

They took the job nobody else wanted, served and fought for neighbors and country and succeeded.

Don't tell me about the 5 percent bunch. We have bigger fish to fry.
