Suicide, not combat, is the leading cause of death of soldiers deployed to the Middle East to fight ISIS.
Of the 31 troops who have died since December 27, 2014 when the campaign began, 11 were suicides, reports USA Today. Eight died in combat.
The other deaths were a result of accidents, illness or injury and, one case is being investigated.
Combat fatalities as a result of direct contact with ISIS have been limited, according to the outlet, thanks to airstrikes and drones that have killed 50,000 ISIS fighters.

Just give the soldiers a set agenda without rules of engagement and the mental issues would be almost gone.They go through basic with orders to kill everybody in sight,and then when they see actual combat they're told something completely different.Why do they even go to war if they can't fight the enemy?
And not a word is said how the pharmaceutical companies are killing millions of people with their legal drug peddling.The lies and deceptions about the side effects of these so called anti depression cures.

You forgot about the experimental vaccines.
You forgot about the widespread use of depleted uranium weaponry.
You forgot about the MK Ultra mind control programming.
These wars are not meant to be won.
At least war is safer than living in Chicago. Even Obama won't go back there.
