I see a lot of guys begging for money on the freeways that say they are vietnam vets but I don't buy into it.

Thank you Magnetic for your brave service and I'm sorry the Viet Nam Vets were treated so badly. I have one brother who is a Viet Vet and one brother who never came home from there. I always give money to the Vets on the corner. Maybe they really are not Vets but what if they are? And I won't miss the five dollar bill I hand them and hopefully it will make their day a little easier.

They put up a bunch of ugly boxes and JESUS people bought em!

I have respect for anyone who was drafted and put into that hell hole. I don't have much pity for someone who begs for money when there are tons of jobs in Phoenix. I have a lot of respect for those who instead of running to Canada or got out on a loophole served our country to its fullest. It has been a hard road for vets and they have my deepest sympathy.

I don't give a dime to the street corner beggars. Like someone said there are many jobs as well as training for the vets. I got out, went to school and have a decent job. I believe most street corner beggars are homeless alcoholics wanting another drink and using the word "VETERAN" as their back drop.
