"Army says suicides among soldiers at highest level in decades" by Pauline Jelinek, Associated Press | January 30, 2009
WASHINGTON - Suicides among US soldiers rose last year to the highest level in decades, the Army announced yesterday. At least 128 soldiers killed themselves in 2008. But the final count is likely to be considerably higher because 15 more suspicious deaths are still being investigated and could also turn out to be self-inflicted, the Army said.
That will happen when you wake up and realize YOU are the BAD GUYS!!!
A new training and prevention effort will start next week. And Colonel Elspeth Ritchie, a psychiatric consultant to the Army surgeon general, made a plea for more US mental health professionals to sign on to work for the military.
"We are hiring and we need your help," she said.
Shoulda thought about that BEFORE you sent us to war on LIES!!
Military should have STOOD UP to BUSH and the LIARS!!!!!
And WHY do I smell a DRAFT in the air?
"We need to move quickly to do everything we can to reverse this disturbing . . . number," Army Vice Chief of Staff General Peter Chiarelli said.
I'll tell you how, General: BRING the TROOPS HOME!! ALL of 'EM!!!!
Officials have said that troops are under tremendous and unprecedented stress because of repeated and long tours of duty due to the simultaneous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The stress has placed further burdens on an overwhelmed military health care system also trying to tend to huge numbers of troops suffering from post-traumatic stress, depression, and other mental health problems as well as physical wounds and injuries of tens of thousands....
Yup, so LET'S SEND MORE of them into the battle zones of WARS based on LIES!!!
Notice how the lying, war-promoting, agenda-pushing papers never mention those points?
They never apologize for their past lies, never mind about today!!!
