325 Army Suicides In 2012 A Record

(CNN) -- The U.S. Army reported Thursday that there were 325 confirmed or potential suicides last year among active and nonactive military personnel. 

"Our highest on record," said Lt. Gen. Howard Bromberg, deputy chief of staff, manpower and personnel for the Army. 

The grim total exceeds the number of total U.S. Army deaths (219) and total military deaths (313) in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, according to figures published by the military's Defense Casualty Analysis System.

    Sure, you train them to defend the Constitution and our country, then make them attack and murder in order to "Teach" Afghanis how to run their country in an undeclared war! WTF did you expect?

    This is a problem that has been going on for 100's of years in the military.
    We are now allowing the media to bring it to the public.
    Most soldiers are in effect brain washed to kill the enemy. When they are done , they are also taught that this is just a job , so forget about it.
    I went through that nightmare , but I did accept it.
    Some soldiers don't. So just suck it up and move on.
    The quality of soldiers has dropped to a very low level anyway.
    Our level of acceptance has a lot to be desired ,criminals , gays and muslim terrorist.
