Suicide Rate Among US Soldiers Almost One Per Day

"The Associated Press

Suicides are surging among America's troops, averaging nearly one a day this year - the fastest pace in the nation's decade of war.

.....

"The reasons for the increase are not fully understood. Among explanations, studies have pointed to combat exposure, post-traumatic stress, misuse of prescription medications and personal financial problems. Army data suggest soldiers with multiple combat tours are at greater risk of committing suicide, although a substantial proportion of Army suicides are committed by soldiers who never deployed."

"But Xenakis said he worries that many senior military officers do not grasp the nature of the suicide problem." ..... "I am personally fed up with soldiers who are choosing to take their own lives so that others can clean up their mess. Be an adult, act like an adult, and deal with your real-life problems like the rest of us." He did also counsel soldiers to seek help."

The help itself is what's fueling the rise in suicides.
