"Study links risky behavior, Army suicides" by Associated Press | July 30, 2010
WASHINGTON — An Army report on the record number of soldier suicides says the trend reflects a rise in risky behavior including drunken driving and drug abuse in a military stretched thin by the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Good lord the lying military is BLAMING the troops for being told to act like Nazis!
The report says the Army is failing its soldiers by missing signs of trouble or by looking the other way as commanders try to keep to tight schedules required to meet deployment schedules....
The Army counted 160 suicides last year, the highest total ever....
The report raises the possibility that part of the increase in risky behavior comes from an increase in young soldiers attracted to the wartime force precisely because it is dangerous....
I'm sorry, but this is REALLY INSULTING to the TROOPS!
The Army never owns up to anything!
Among the report’s recommendations are increases in mental health personnel.
How about an END to the MURDEROUS and NEVER-ENDING OCCUPATIONS, huh?

Looks as if we will be going through Arlington again, readers.
WASHINGTON — Estimates of the number of graves potentially affected by mix-ups at Arlington National Cemetery grew to as many as 6,600 yesterday, as the cemetery’s former superintendent blamed his staff and a lack of resources for the scandal that forced his ouster.
What?
John Metzler, who ran the famous military burial ground for 19 years, said he accepts “full responsibility’’ for the problems.
But he also rebutted some findings of Army investigators, and he suggested cemetery employees were to blame for mix-ups because the system used to track grave sites relied mostly on a complicated paper trail vulnerable to error....
I'm sorry, but when you "accept full responsibility" there ARE NO BUTS!
His testimony angered lawmakers....
Yeah, so?
They going to end the wars based on lies so young people won't be planted in the ground anymore?
