American military personnel are continuing to take their own lives in unprecedented numbers, as wars in Afghanistan and Iraq drag on. By late November, at least 334 had committed suicide in 2009, more than the 319 killed in Afghanistan or the 150 who died in Iraq.

Article only makes sense with original title: "Suicide claims more US military lives than Afghan war".

All war has a destructive, corrosive effect on the mind and soul. We've never focused on the individual damage to the psyche the way that we have recently. The world wars and the adventures that this country has been on previous to the Gulf nonsense left a lot of unrecognized victims in their wake. I've known many of them. We're not going to know the true cost of these wars for many years to come.

BTW, christine can fix your titles if you ask nice.

Thank you for the correction. But not to overlook the headline's overall authenticity.

A five-month survey by CBS (since VA does not keep suicide stats) uncovered 6,256 suicides in 2005 alone which is more than the cumulative total for the Iraq and Afghan wars.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2...tigates/main3496471.shtml

There's lots of disturbing data when you google "us veterans suicide:" 93% are enlisted, one-third between ages 21-25, 48% married, 42% after one deployment; 178,000 vets have been diagnosed with mental illness(s) between 2002-08. Estimated 10 failed suicide attempts for each actual loss. And remember, as one relative of a fallen Canadian trooper said: this was for nothing. No other reason than a bunch of political captives in the US Congress having to discharge their campaign indebtedness to the Israeli lobby shylocks by fighting Israel's enemies.

both titles are wrong. The number killed in Afghanistan is much higher then the suicide total. Those flown out to Germnany hospitals then die in the air are not counted in the totals.

The suicide total itself is wrong, it also is much higher.
