Actually this JAMA study being published in the NYTimes is good news, good news for the men and women of our armed forces, and good news because it goes AGAINST the leftist/NYTimes narrative that military men are damaged goods.

Yours is a voice of reason on this thread. I suspect part of the suicide trend is cultural and not unique to the military. As a society, suicide is portrayed as an acceptable proposition especially for younger people.

I would like to see a study that compares curves between the rate of increase in military suicides as compared to the non-military population. Also, it would be interesting to show suicide rates compared by age groups especially 20 YOs vs say 40 YOs.
