Actually if it less than the suicide rate of male veterans, it is not staggering.
dealing with a group that is 90 percent of men mostly in their twenties and thirties and probably coming from broken families and turning to the military to escape could be reasons. Either way the military should not be for social tinkering.
Maybe there needs to be help for all veterans after their service. The VA hasn't improved. Their medical needs are not being met. Supposedly, instead of helping veterans, they are drugging them. I imagine that it's hard to find a job whether man or woman. The elitists don't want to hire veterans.
Bingo!
We're informed by people who couldn't solve the word problems in fifth grade.
According to the article:
In new research compiling 11 years of data, women ages 18 to 29, veterans kill themselves at nearly 12 times the rate of nonveterans.
