Increased suicide rates for returning combat vets. .....................The headlines are that veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are at an increased risk for suicide. This should not be a surprise as suicide is the ultimate symptom of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and it is certain the VA medical system is broke and dysfunctional, just like the entire war effort. The Associated Press reports over 30,000 veteran suicides since 2001. THE WORST IS YET TO COME. Been there, seen that! ......................Looks like if you add these to the fatalities of troops we've actually had 33,500+ Us troop deaths from Iraq.
