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".

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.

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.

Hmm...kind of strange, considering they're trained in lethal weapons, huh?

I expect at least half of these "failed" attempts are trying for a long-term disability. Shirkers.

Lots of people trying to game the system.

Many people who attempt suicide really DON'T want to die, they just don't want the life they have and have lost hope in finding positive ways to change their lives for the better.

In other words, it's a desperate attempt to find a way out of what they perceive as an intolerable situation.

They comitt suicide rather than kill any more. Staying in the miltary means killing, getting out means killing those that lied to you about the reason for the war. Either way you got to keep killing. Some don't want to kill anymore, so they make sure they don't.
