Despite recent calls to action to improve suicide prevention within the military, suicide rates remain elevated among service members, and an estimated four times as many active duty service members and veterans died by suicide as died in battle since 9/11.

@TucsonSentinel We have to damage their minds to make them reactive to commands in wars, to do things that a moral person would not do to other human beings. We then tell them that it bothers them to ‘walk it off’. We tell them they are weak and we throw them away. The demons of war fester in the hearts and minds of those who surrendered to commands, and those who lost their teams.
