Why are so many Veterans committing suicide?
Here's an article about how there is an increase in Veterans suicides. Why is this happening? Does anyone here know any Veterans that have taken their lives? What are they going through? Is this strictly an American military phenomenon? Is the medical industry (The VA) a factor through misuse of and overprescribed meds of all kinds? Why do so many Vets have chronic pain? How do Vets in other countries get taken care of? Do Vets in other countries get PTSD at the same rate as American Vets?

Re: Why are so many Veterans committing suicide?
I have a friend that works in a VA hospital. She told me that that a common reason vets contemplate suicide is from the unnecessary deaths of innocent bystanders during combat. Watching kids get hit by a drone rattles the psyche, especially if the soldier has kids himself.

Also adjusting to life after combat, especially with PTSD, is likely extremely difficult. They may feel inadequate not being able to take care of themselves/family so they just check out..thinking they won't be a burden to anyone anymore. Sad shit.

 Quoting: Mousse


My opinion is that many men and women having financial difficulties, and difficulties dealing with life, join the military. They can't get a job and joining the military gives them a paycheck. Suicide and PTSD is the result of their difficulties dealing with life...not combat. What many people do not realize is that only 20% of people in the military ever see combat.

Young veterans, who often joined out of economic desperation, find themselves out on the street after 4 or even 8 years with NO job skills.

Some other characteristics of the veteran population also drive suicide rates: substance abuse e.g. alcoholism, which multiplies suicide rates.

Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running.

Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives”
reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to
its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in
the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by
the children of the citizens
, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all
their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel

America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments...
1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year.
2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges.
3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set.
4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit.

Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates.

In many cases, I believe only their symptoms are being treated and NOT the root causes of their ills. Also, many are no doubt being turned into drug addicts through over prescription of pain meds.
Dedicated to the brave men who fought and laid down their lives on the beaches of Normandy and the plains of Europe . . . that their sacrifice was not in vain.

Re: Why are so many Veterans committing suicide?
I suffer with chronic nerve and muscle pain. Docs don't have a good answer for it, but there's evidence that shows it may be due to Anthrax vaccines that were forced on us. I feel lucky that I only received a half cycle instead of the whole cycle that many soldiers got.
I, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

Drugged and pussified. So instead of going after the satanists who ruined their lives and the country, they cry like little girls in their closets and eventually off themselves under the influence of the drugs. Read the small prints on those bottles and ask yourself why something should be promoting peace of mind ‘may cause suicide’

I think killing another human being is mentally and spiritually damaging. Weighs on their souls. Chronic pain and debilitating injuries exacerbate the situation.

Agreed I don't think normal people are ever meant to take a life.

Also its not always PTSD. When I was serving in Bosnia there was a soldier that killed himself while on deployment for 6 months when his wife sent him a dear John letter.

When you learn to kill and then sent off to do it, your view of what a life is worth has been altered....inclueding the worth of your own. You were taught you are expendable for the greater good

They pump you up, make you feel to be part of something important, then have you kill and lose friends then they dump you out alone as a part of nothing.
