We have been in the thick of litigation about the plight of homeless veterans in Los Angeles for some time.
Now comes word of more senselessness by Veterans Affairs.
It took a global pandemic for the Los Angeles Veterans Affairs to offer a few vets temporary housing on a sprawling parcel deeded to the federal government over a century ago for the specific purpose of caring for disabled military veterans.
"Honestly, it's like a Band-Aid considering that there are around 4,000 homeless veterans in the city of L.A.," said Robert Rosebrock, a U.S. Army veteran and activist who leads a troop called the Old Veterans Guard.
Since 2008 the group has assembled at the "Great Lawn Gate" marking the entrance to the Los Angeles National Veterans Park to protest the VA's failure to make full use of the property to benefit veterans, particularly those who are homeless.
Judicial Watch has also offered to purchase tents for the homeless veterans.
"There's no rhyme or reason for offering such a limited number of veterans tents," Rosebrock said.
