I thought of that also and considering the fact that Nam vets do have the highest rate of suicide I was hoping that with the younger survivors speaking out, they could help all vets.
2014 article quote:
“But while older veterans saw a slight decrease in suicides, male veterans under 30 saw a 44 percent increase in the rate of suicides. Thats roughly two young veterans a day who take their own life, most just a few years after leaving the service.
Their rates are astronomically high and climbing, said Jan Kemp, VAs National Mental Health Director for Suicide Prevention. Thats concerning to us.

This Vietnam Vets and suicide is BS.
Point of interest, the majority of ‘Nam era vets committing suicide were not in combat. Bryan Suits has covered this many times on his radio program.
