Why is Britain giving any aid to Libya in the first place? We know how certain people view generosity re: 7/7 and 7/21 bombers.

Well, after reading a story about a combat veteran living in his van/car in the UK press, I think the problem is being generous to the wrong people.

Same could be said the the US EH. Vets forgotten by the government. Over 9,000 Iraq/Afghanistan vets are homeless, 21% of them women (15% of the military is comprised of women). Some due to injuries, some due to having lost their homes while serving their country, some due to not being able to get a job, some due to PTS. Nothing new here. Same thing happened to Vietnam vets. There are women vets with children who are homeless!!!

Before you focus on the UK and finding fault with their priorities, take a good look at the US.

That's just wrong... People underestimate what those people did for their country.
