Where are the homeless supposed to go?

Cities have been cracking down on homeless people so they can’t have encampments or stay on sidewalks. At the same time usually the shelters are full. So those who are unable to get into a shelter, where are they supposed to go?

They weren't the Taliban at that time, and to be fair there were many different militant factions, from different ethnic groups and regions.

But, yes. We funneled a shit load of weapons into that country to bleed the Russians and then just let it turn into a failed state so a Taliban like group could take over after. 0 shits given after Russia pulled out. And Rambo 3 is perfect at showing that sentiment in the West at the time.

The end of Charlie Wilson's War when he can't get any funding for the post-Soviet recovery is rough
