Military Suicides Drop; Unclear Why (2013)
"Last year the number of suicides in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines spiked to 349 for the
full 12-month period, the highest since the Pentagon began closely tracking the numbers in 2001,
and up from the 2011 total of 301. There were 295 Americans killed in Afghanistan [war] last year,
by the AP's count." There are more dying by suicide than in war. Why????

"In 2005 alone, there were 6,256 suicides nationally among those who served in the armed
forces — about 120 deaths per week."

What the hell are they doing to the military???

I believe only 2 Generals were fired under Bush's 2 terms total. There are currently 48 4-Star Generals.
