Does Leftist Dogma Contribute to Military Suicides?

The Problem:

Mar 1, 2010 ... During the month of January, more soldiers committed suicide (24) than were killed by enemy fire in Afghanistan and Iraq combined
swampland.blogs.time.com/2010/03/01/military-suici

Every day, five U.S. soldiers try to kill themselves. Before the Iraq war began, that figure was less than one suicide attempt a day.

The Reason:

Not as badly as civilians, but our officers are indoctrinated by leftist professors. We now have a Commander in Chief at war with people who cling to their guns and religion. Leftist dogma put in practice is not working well, is it?

Dad links son’s suicide to ‘The God Delusion’

A New York man is linking the suicide of his 22-year-old son, a military veteran who had bright prospects in college, to the anti-Christian book “The God Delusion” by Richard Dawkins after a college professor challenged the son to read it.

“Three people told us he had taken a biology class and was doing well in it, but other students and the professor were really challenging my son, his faith. They didn’t like him as a Republican, as a Christian, and as a conservative who believed in intelligent design,” the grief-stricken father, Keith Kilgore, told WND about his son, Jesse.

“This professor either assigned him to read or challenged him to read a book, ‘The God Delusion,’ by Richard Dawkins,” he said.

The military is also neglected in funding. Leftist funding priorities are another contributing factor. But a ragged Christian in chains can brave lions in the arena. A ragged Christian can sustain immense torture, offering up pain as a special prayer sacrifice. I think we need MORE spiritual faith in the military — not less.
