You don't have to be a veteran to go to that court. 
The neiborhood drunk, not even a veteran, was in jail, on his 4th or 5th DUI, and his 6th or 7th parole violation, appealed to be seen in Vet court and it was accepted. Now he is out of jail, on probation again and working on another parole violation.  

The gal he hit needs to leave him. And the WOMAN BEATER needs to get off the alcohol.
