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.

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.

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.

The ten-to-one ratio appears to be the norm for the general population, although some estimates put it at 20-1. There are 30,000 suicides annually in the US; another estimated 300,000 survive an attempt,most requiring only emergency room treatment. Suicide is listed as the 8th leading cause of death.

The only thing I can conjecture about the "false" URL it's a gimmick to attract readers to advertising, something all newspapers do. The front page is all interesting news so you pick up the paper. Inside you find the adds. Alb2c3 takes an interesting item and gives a URL containing its sales pitches with the intent of attracting people unaware of their site. This would be my guess as to what's going on.

So what did you think of the reporting that 1/3 of the soldiers who offed themselves hadn't even been sent to a combat zone?

I thought that would surprise most people.

That suicides began increasing significantly since 2001 indicates they have something to do with the Afghan and Iraq wars. Could be that pre-combat soldiers saw how war had devastated some of their comrades along with hearing horror stories from returnees of what goes on at the front the novices realized the military was far from the enjoyable adventure depicted in Hollywood movies. Then other than the glib assertion about a war on terror, soldiers, like the public, have not been given a reason for the two current wars which the Israeli lobby got congressmen to "launch" to protect Israel from its enemies and to detract from Zionist terrorist tactics against Palestinians.

Further note: The Army and the National Mental Health Institute have teamed up to begin a $50-million research program to examine factors behind soldier suicides...
