I’m not denying that. And I also admit that veterans are taking their lives way too quickly. One guy I know, marine sniper, fought in Fallujah during the worst of, he suffers a lot. Can’t really keep a job for more than a year. He’s had nearly all of the guys in his squad that came back alive commit suicide over the last 15 years. It’s beyond tragic what some of these guys are going through.
this is an excellent thing to bookmark. Veteran suicides far outpace the national average when controlling for population. 22 is a number all veterans are aware of, meaning 22 veterans a day die by suicide.
In the times we’re living in, no support, no healtcare, no help, homeless veterans… its easy to see how the situation becomes hopeless.
So you have 22 people a day, trained for violence, giving up, becoming pessmisitic, nihilistic… It’s honestly a wonder we haven’t seen more cases exactly like this…
There are very different war veteran experiences out there and very different ways of coping with them.
