Suicide Is Killing More Troops Than Combat

A startling statistic was released by the Army on Friday: the number of soldiers who have committed suicide between January 1 and September 30 is 247, while the number killed in combat is 222.
In September alone, it's believed 15 active-duty and 16 reserve or Guard soldiers committed suicide. That's a huge number. And this is just the Army.
All branches of the military are losing troops to this particularly sad enemy, and all have worked to create programs to relieve the stigma of getting mental health treatment. The Department of Veterans' Affairs is conducting a study to see if fish oil-spiked smoothies will ease depression.

    Ted Turner told Piers Morgan that he thinks it is "good" that soldiers are commiting suicide. Educate yourself on the Turner media channels--CNN, Cartoon Network, TCM, TNT, Tru to name a few and do not support a sociopathic immoral bast**d that declares our soldiers deserve to die. The only power we have left is is what media and hollywood celebrities we support with our time and our dime.
