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...." |

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)..." More at source The media are whores, so don't expect to ever see this get reported even when they tackle subjects like PTSD. |

Perhaps one day the slaves will awaken and tell the Aholes to fight their own for profit and population control wars Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1185436That 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. |

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.

So you will carry out orders without thinking about them, or analyzing the morality too much... |

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. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1102264So then, they need to be de-programmed before they commit suicide. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1185694there's enough american bashing the last 2 weeks 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. |

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.
