Today the POTUS will be talking before the American Legion's 94th Convention and will be discussing his five priorities he and his staff will focus on to make sure we get what we have earned.
Read the article below and let us know, is this enough? Which part of his plan sticks out to you the most? Which part of his plan do you think will be the easiest and hardest to put into practice?

Sounds like a lot of boiler plate rhetoric to me. It's been said before and looked into before and gone unfunded before It's easy at the POTUS level to preach when their is no substance behind the alter, not unlike the joke that is the Affordable Health Care Act. POTUS needs to stop writing checks that "We the People" have to keep going to the bank to cash and find that no funds are available.

The definition of 'homeless' has been redefined. It is on paper only about the 25,000. I know this for a fact.

The President's address to the 96th (according to http://www.legion.org) American Legion convention presents some good ideas. I think the mental health issues will continue to be the most difficult because of both service and service member cultural issues. It appears to me that the Army, in particular, has continued to embrace the Patton model where PTSD is not a "real" problem, instead it's simply cowardice. Many military personnel have also internalized this view. These two factors mean that personnel do not seek out the help they may need. No Presidential, VA, or DoD initiative will get the traction it needs until prejudice against seeking mental health assistance begins to fade.
