Both the active military and the VA have intense programs to save suicidal folks. All a person has to do is ask.
To: blueunicorn6
I didn’t think of that angle. It’s another possibility.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Insane ROE’s are leading to unnecessary casualties. Recalcitrant villages playing host to multiple rebel attacks should long ago have been rounded up and sent into exile, into the wastelands, Trail of Tears style. Villages with few incidents should have been awarded their land. Unfortunately, we are too politically-correct to do this kind of occupation. The only thing left to do is withdraw. Maybe when New York City is nuked by terrorists, American public opinion will develop a little more spine and respect for the life of the American fighting man, thanks to the literal removal of New Yorkers from the gene pool. Or maybe we need literal mutiny and a Franco-style revolution.

If 30 soldiers from the same battalion have committed suicide, the Army better get off its sorry PC a$$ and find out what is going on there.

Boot licking love affair with warriors? Go to he!!. (That’s from me and all the soldiers I worked with over a full career as an Army officer)

Battalion leader? Never heard it put that way. That could have been anyone up to and including the BN Commander.
To: golux
This Soldier committed suicide in front of his wife. May be he and she were having problems and he found out she was cheating on him with a good friend? Who knows what goes on between a couple. He was number 30 of his battalion who committed suicide. There is definitely a huge problem that needs to be addressed.

I wasn’t casting stones at his service either. But his wife will relive what she witnessed over and over. I hope she gets counseling.

Tell us about your time in uniform stud.

I am happy you admit there is a huge problem that is not being addressed and snide comments are unnecessary.

Possibly that might play a role but it's mostly the wars fought today are fought quite different than wars decades ago. And we all know wars with the Islamic thugs are especially difficult.....they seldom wear uniforms to identify themselves except in parades, they have no rules of engagement nor honor any who do have them. ...most are jacked up to the hilt with amphetamines so your fighting rapid lunatics who are jacked up mental cases to begin with. Then our guys have to deal with "rules of engagement" with these freak animals while being kind and giving helping hands in their communities that would soon as put a bullet in them as any other in the field of battle..
Navigate THAT in your head just how you'd fair......it's physiologically extremely difficult to even imagine let alone be and live it there.

Some times the damage is so deep that it cannot be repaired.
I pray for him and him and his family. They are now victims of something they may never have any answers to. Just the pain.
He was no coward, he was just damaged from the life he was living. RIP sir.
