I know that I will get flamed for this. But...remind me again why somebody would want to be a soldier for America? (Don't bother with the obvious...read this story again before answering - thanks.)

"Thank you for serving your country."

The result of an unjust law. Fortunately the story has a favorable outcome. It isn't always so.

What about the other utilities? Gas and Power, Probably cable and internet too judging by the photos of the "improvements", couldn't he have those shut off as well? I would think that by writing the utility company and informing them that you are the property owner and you will not be held responsible for the utilities should the illegal occupant fail to pay them, that the companies would shut them down.

He should call BLM. They throw people off their own land.

  Actually, they first steal the land that should belong to the People (and the States), and *then* steal your property off that land if they can get away with it.
  
  Of course... the squatters are felons and ex-cons, so the BLM would likely side with them over the rightful owner.
  
  What if, as owner of the house, the vet went in, and had the house demolished? Yeah, it would be extreme, but then, so is having your land stolen by thieves and watching the local law side with the felons... IAs much as I would hate to wrecking ball my home, it would get the convicts out... they'd have to go find someone elses property to live on for free.
  
  And then, I just thought of this. Cons... live in Prison. does that mean they own their cells? After all - they've taken up legal residence there... Yeah.
