"The U.S. #DepartmentOfVeteransAffairs, as of Thursday, has ended a new #mortgage-rescue program that so far has helped about 20,000 veterans avoid #foreclosure and keep their homes.
The move leaves millions of military #veterans with far worse options than most other American homeowners if they run into trouble paying their home loans. And it comes at a time when nearly 90,000 #VA loans are seriously past due, with 33,000 of those already in the foreclosure process, according to the data and analytics firm ICE."
You know they don’t let us take our guns home, right?
Yes but we also know veterans tend to keep personal firearms too.
Sure, but that’s not a service weapon.
The US army will give soldiers a stipend to purchase their own rifles for use in battle, and those are the property of the soldier. I mean you can use a general issue rifle which you don’t get to keep, but everyonei knew opted for the stipend so they could build their own custom rifle and keep it.
Also nearly every police officer opts to use a stipend to purchase their own service firearm which is their personal property. You can use one issued by the PD, but again I don’t know of anyone that opted for that route.
US Army does no such thing.
I don’t know any soldiers who have told me that. Not saying you’re wrong, just saying that’s new info to me.
Some countries do. Op may not be from the u. S.
He may be, but this is a very US centered post.
