A Sign of Empire Pathology
More US military personnel have taken their OWN lives than have died in action

by Finian Cunningham

"...Here is a shocking statistic that you won't hear in most western news media: over the past nine years, more US military personnel have taken their own lives than have died in action in either the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. These are official figures from the US Department of Defence, yet somehow they have not been deemed newsworthy to report. Last year alone, more than 330 serving members of the US armed forces committed suicide - more than the 320 killed in Afghanistan and the 150 who fell in Iraq (see wsws.org)..."

Re: MORE SOLDIERS COMMITTED SUICIDE THAN WERE KILLED
"...Since 2001, when Washington launched its so-called war on terror, there has been a dramatic year-on-year increase in US military suicides, particularly in the army, which has borne the brunt of fighting abroad. Last year saw the highest total number since such records began in 1980. Prior to 2001, the suicide rate in the US military was lower than that for the general US population; now, it is nearly double the national average...."

Re: MORE SOLDIERS COMMITTED SUICIDE THAN WERE KILLED
Obviously, incredibly tragic, and speaks volumes about what the rank and file military think about the "virtue" of the current imperialist wars, which always sacrifice peasants to make the psychopathic "elites" even wealthier. Perhaps one day the slaves will awaken and tell the Aholes to fight their own for profit and population control wars

They must be treated so badly while serving overseas. Or the work they are doing is so bad, that they are then filled with remorse afterwards. It is so sad on all levels.

That will be the day that we have world peace! :)
It IS coming. People ARE waking up.
I am just sad that these soldiers have only just started to wake up to the way the world is run, and then get so depressed that they take their own lives.

They are subliminally mentally programmed that way, if they are the psychological revolutionary type.

So they can't form an effective revolutionary force against the fascist state that trained them.

The fascist state doesn’t want patriots with combat skills coming back at them.

The fascist state also saves on retirement benefits it’s a win win for them.

Either sell your soul and sign up for life or de mob and die.

Just like the mkultraed killers. After serving the purpose of handlers they turn the gun on themselves. TPTB don't want all these people running around with training and combat experience under their belt. They might be tempted to train others. This is so sad.

Right, right. When you are in the military, your individual ego is broken down so that you become more a part of the 'group mind', yes? So you will carry out orders without thinking about them, or analyzing the morality too much...

So then, they need to be de-programmed before they commit suicide.

Re: MORE SOLDIERS COMMITTED SUICIDE THAN WERE KILLED
A friend from high school served in Irag, less them a month home from his first tour he hung himself in his parents basement. his then 12 year old sister found him. The things he told me he had to do over there, it's no wonder he did it. It's a sad truth, the military focuses so much on keeping the soldiers alive, but they don't pay attention to what's happening to there minds.

This was not meant as a bashing. I am sure the military in EVERY country is going through similar experiences, if they are actively engaged.
War runs the global economy, and makes very few men a whole lot of money. If fewer people fought their wars for them, we would be that much closer to global peace.

Well, maybe there could be a 'veterans activist group' that provides counselling and helps to de-program soldiers when they come home. This group could also do outreach workshops so that kids don't enlist in the first place.

The Iraqis where fond of hiding behind human shields, on a few occasions they where forced to kill them along with the combatants. He told me about fighting against child soldiers, and how it gave him awful nightmares.
