So, did you ever get any answers or input into why so many suicides of vets? I noticed you posted the question.

Well, do you really think there are more suicides now, than then, or are the stats just more accurate?

I read Dark's answer and I have to agree with some of his observations. Since we now have an all volunteer army and a much larger reserve service, could it be that the malcontents and actually mentally ill are allowed to continue with service...until they get into battle?

There was this one story of the soldier in intelligence who had a panic attack at seeing wounded and dead Iraqis and could not perform his job.

I never heard or knew of one suicide in my almost 10 years service.....I do know a bunch of occupation troops in Japan got a shock when they went to Korea...They figured all they had to do was march up the road and the g**ks would thow up their hands and surrender....Didn't work that way....

I think the overiding reason today is all the kids are spoiled. They feel they shouldn't have to do stuff like this....JMHO....

Westy, you are probably right. I think there are more teenage suicides today than a generation or two ago. Why? Because, they cannot cope with the problems of today, which are so much less than then. Kids who have no fear of childhood diseases, wear designer clothes and shoes, have tv, stereos, and phones in their rooms, the best opportunities for education....decide that life is not worth living if someone disses them. They expect not to have to confront any difficulty.

Yes, you may say that times are different now with divorce and both parents working, which was rare a generation ago. But, times were hard, always for children, whether it be poverty or abusive parents or uninterested teachers. It seems now, though, that children do not have the strength to fight and instead give up.

It may well be, Westy, that our children have been taught that life is not valuable....as we abort our babies if they are inconvenient to our lives. What message does that give them?

I think it boils down to the kids feeling they are entitled to whatever it is that crosses their minds....If someone says NO or denies them their desires of the moment they just can't hack it....BWDIK....

I was watching Trading Spaces.. Hildy designed a cardboard room that was as hideous as it sounds. YUK! Meanwhile Frank designed a lovely neutral room that was kinda plain - but the homeowners adored it.

About the bald cat...this little black kitty that comes to visit us ( thinks she lives here and got in the house today) was like that until I spied a bit of tapeworm on her coat. Gave her a pill and she has picked up some needed wt and her coat is glorious..could be a parasite other than fleas..I'd take her to the doctor for a check up..

Yes, now I remember the feathers. And didn't she also ruin a perfectly new bathroom by glueing fake flowers all over the walls and shower curtain? If I was accepted for Trading Spaces, and was told she was coming, I would cancel. LOL

It's not my cat that has the problem. But, you are probably right about the balding.

Mo, I am terrible with names, especially the men on the program. But, I would just love that jolly rotund man who wears the shorts to decorate my whole house.

And who is the carpenter with the spiked hair? I swear I watched a movie on that Lifetime the other day starring him. He must be getting famous. LOL
