As suicides continue to rise in 2012, the Defence Department officials are developing a suicide prevention campaign, part of which will encourage friends and family of the potentially suicidal to convince the soldiers to give up their weapons. The Pentagon’s move would be hugely controversial as some lobbyists may construe it as gun control. [ link to www.dailymail.co.uk] |

First thing that went through my mind was I smell a rat! So yeah this post seems legit based on what I've been seeing...looks like we're down to the last few pieces on the chess board! You only hear about SpecOps when they go wrong. |
