The figures in this story come from the Center for a New American Security, a left of center think tank which is a favorite with the Obama Administration.

From VETERANS TODAY Website:

“The VA estimates that about 18 veterans commit suicide every day, but this statistic is based on limited data. Only 16 states submit the cause of death among veterans and the VA relies on 3-year-old data for its reports.”

More often than not Kristof and the Times are full of sh*t. So is the Army Times which is owned by Gannett.
