I don't post much here about politics but this caught my eye this morning:
From the Associated Press: "Ninety-nine U.S. soldiers killed themselves last year, the highest rate of suicide in the Army in 26 years, a new report says." With more than one out of four soldiers who committed suicide doing so while serving in Iraq or Afghanistan, the report finds what the AP calls a "significant relationship between suicide attempts and the number of days deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan or nearby countries where troops were participating in the war effort."
Pills won't fix this problem. Nor will glib talk of chemical imbalances.
