Suicides among serving US soldiers are on course to hit a new record this year and could exceed the rate among the general population for the first time since the Vietnam War, according to Army officials.

People who still deny Irak is similar to Vietnam will have one more unwelcomed statistic on their minds.

If they have some ethics remaining that is the only honourable thing an US soldier can do these days. Though I must admit that it is somewhat unlikely that there are US soldiers with ethics. They would have deserted in 2001.

it good to see you bring such news to light

another reason why I feel sorry for soldiers. I don't agree with the decisions they make, but they are still people. It is sad that the things we put them can break them that thoroughly.

I'm curious, does anyone have a good link about post-deployment suicide rates?

love your stuff. even though the issues you base your pieces on are based on issues relating to the US they are still very relevant to Australia where i live. good job
:iconizaran:
I agree, the suicide rate is getting rather bad.Thsi whole damn war is about oil. Hell, ppl are finally complaining about how oil has threatened our national security, destroyed our Economy, and is CONTROLLING our Foreign Policy. It needs to stop. And the fact that these kids in the military are killing themselves, makes me realize: They grew up hearing the stories there fathers and gradnfathers went through in Vietnam, and the thoughts they have now: FUCK THIS!

It NEEDS to stop.
