This is tragic.
And it makes me worry about those currently serving. With zero’s decimation of our military through decreasing funding and social engineering, it will only get worse.
Something is wrong in the suicides, but it isn’t necessarily what we’d think. It bespeaks a wrong attitude towards God. God never asked for anybody’s suicide. But because of original sin, the devil has a foothold in people’s hearts and in some cases he can exert leverage to this end.
We don’t need better military programs. We need evangelists.
There is something mentioned in the article that is then not explored.
The article said that suicides started spiking in 2009.
That’s when the rules of engagement changed.
That’s when the politicians announced big cuts to the military.
That’s when morale plummeted.
That’s when casualties spiked.
That’s when the mission went to hell.
That’s when the new CIC took over.
I was there....
Today in the U-T San Diego:
Marine battled back, yet fell to suicide
Infantryman who lost legs in combat seemed to be triumphing, but invisible wounds proved fatal
He rarely spoke of it. Not to his family or best buddies, fellow Marines or medical staff watching over him.
But Cpl. Farrell Gilliam had endured far more by the time he died this year at age 25 than most people could comprehend.
The Camp Pendleton infantryman survived three months of combat in 2010 with the Darkhorse 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment in Sangin, Afghanistan one of the deadliest battlegrounds of the war.
Psychologically, he was suffering from invisible wounds he hid behind smiles and upbeat banter.
Or so his family discovered on Jan. 9, when Gilliam committed suicide...
Gilliam finally succumbed to his battle wounds, said Sgt. James Finney, his former squad leader in Afghanistan. It doesnt matter who pulled the trigger to him Gilliam was killed in action just like the other 25 from their battalion.
It was an 8,000-mile sniper shot, said Finney, 27, now an infantry instructor. His passing was directly due to a situation because of his wounds received in Afghanistan. I dont care what anyone else thinks.
************
Last year, 45 Marines committed suicide and 234 tried to. It was by far the highest number of suicide attempts for the service since at least 2003.
Among veterans of all the armed forces, at least 22 commit suicide daily, according to estimates from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
