Suicides of Soldiers Reach High of Nearly 3 Decades
Suicides of Soldiers Reach High of Nearly 3 Decades
Suicides among soldiers in 2008 rose for the fourth year in a row, reaching the highest level in nearly three decades, Army officials said Thursday. At least 128 soldiers killed themselves last year, and the Army suicide rate surpassed that for civilians for the first time since the Vietnam War, according to Army statistics. The suicide count, which includes soldiers in the Army Reserve and the National Guard, is expected to grow; 15 deaths are still being investigated, and the vast majority of them are expected to be ruled suicides, Army officials said. more here; http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/30/us...ml?_r=1&ref=us |

Re: Suicides of Soldiers Reach High of Nearly 3 Decades
That's the official army story. I have heard from a insider contractor at a base in Iraq. The soldiers are being murdered and then it is set up like a suicide.
Way too many lies to keep up on. Peace |
