Could this group be predominately lesbo?

Just asking.

[allendale]

Well maybe, just maybe, women are not suited to be warriors. Political correctness is an exercise in delusion.

[Daralundy]

Actually if it less than the suicide rate of male veterans, it is not staggering.

[struggle]

Maybe they should all be offered free sex changes

[ConservativeMind]

I wonder if other male-dominated, highly demanding, careers show a similar uptick in suicides by women.

[ansel12]

In that age group, female veterans were nearly 12 more likely than other women to take their lives. Suicide rates for male veterans were almost five time higher than those of other men.

The female is not suited for the military. Not physically, where they suffer pelvic fractures from marching, and all kinds of injuries from over taxing their female bodies, to this.

[rockinqsranch]

I don’t understand either the male, or the female suicide rates. Why? Is it because they give all for their country, and then watch as the politicians give it all to the enemy they just fought, and watched their brother’s, and sister’s in arms die for?

Doesn’t make much sense.

[ozzymandus]

“Experts” find whatever they’re talking about “staggering”. Not to dismiss the seriousness of vet suicides, but hangers-on like this guy are just looking for attention.

[hosepipe]

Who’s in charge of this operation.?..

Obama?.. well there you go....

[Chode]

and the RATS are pushing for them to be Warriors... the RAT war on women continues

[TexasFreeper2009]

Through the military they become more comfortable with killing in general, and thus become as likely to kill themselves as men.

[Volunteer]

I have been trying to read up on exactly this topic. The VA is trying to help but they are just too few trying to help. I lost my best friend to suicide when we got home from the first war in the gulf.

[oldbrowser]

Their suicide rate is so high that it approaches that of male veterans

Is it there a possible correlation?

[ViLaLuz]

With some of the attitudes displayed here it’s no wonder.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

It’s almost as high as the men.

[Jet Jaguar]

Active Duty ping.

[Gaffer]

Numbers and statistics. Obscenely high. Almost as high as the male suicides.

Why is it that all this can be categorized as either good or bad depending on the ‘victim’ or gender [a quickly-disappearing concept I’m told]? The numbers and statistics don’t lie they claim.

Women’s groups have steadfastly fought for equality in the military, and now they’ve gotten some of it, it is “obscene.”

I wonder if the military has also experienced a higher instance of HIV/AIDS since DADT was transitioned to “It’s okay to be Gay in the Military.” Anybody think that study will be on the wires any time soon?

[Does so]

I like to think that my military service has protected the country; however, serving under Obama could cause me to become very depressed.
