I know many people who have been to the Middle East since the war began. I've now asked two or three how many people they know who were there that attempted suicide. Generally, I draw a blank stare.
If the VA can produce people who have, I will want to know what went on at home to cause it.
This kind of nonsense becomes a self perpetuating life form, grist for stage and screen. We went through this once before in my youth. Those reports turned out to be largely nonsense, and the average lad and lass in today's military is tiers above the average ones from those days in training and professionalism.
Call me a doubting Thomas in this case. I'll remain so until I see it in person and in real life.
