Drugs and unfit for war soldiers who thought it's a video game when they enlisted. Too much bravado, little brain. They are supposed to be professionals. Unnacceptable behavior. When you enlist, WAR is the OUTCOME, battle, ugly stuff. Stop crying.

Stop kissing their azzes. This is not Vietnam. They enlist of their own FREE WILL!

U.S. military suicides rapidly rising even as combat eases

By ROBERT BURNS

WASHINGTON — Suicides among active-duty U.S. troops are surging, averaging nearly one per day this year.

That is the fastest pace since America began a decade of war.

Pentagon statistics obtained by The Associated Press show there were 146 suicides in the first 148 days of this year. That is 17 percent more than at the same point last year and 24 percent ahead of the 2010 pace. 


Suicide totals had leveled off in 2010 and 2011 after rising rapidly since 2006.
