100000 Vietnam Vet suicides?
I have difficulty accepting that figure. That’s one out of every 28 Vietnam vets who served in theater.
I have no difficulty with that figure whatsoever...
Granted, the majority of V.N. Vets returned home to full productive lives.
However, the true numbers of those who took their lives upon returning will never be verified. I personally know some I served with that never recovered from the trauma of combat and the horrific treatment they encountered when they came home. Some swallowed bullets, many drank and drugged themselves to death. Both are a form of suicide in my book.
