I basically just told them when they moved in that any drama that may arise from them sharing the house is between them and has nothing to do with me (as long as the house/people aren't being physically harmed).If you do end up renting to veterans I think your best bet to ensure everyone gets along is to just make one lease for all 4 bedrooms.

Pay down the cards, break the habit.  

It might do more harm/headache than good

I definitely have a list of books and daily habit of listening to at least one podcast a day.
