the concern for the troops is just underwhelming

1) Which is it... 21 or 16? The story contradicts its title.

2) So 600 of the 4200 deaths in Iraq have been from suicide????

Not discounting this entirely, but you would think something like this would be reported elsewhere.

21 attempted suicide, 16 succeeded.

No... 300. 600 attempted and about half actually killed themselves.

ok... the article stated that 600 committed suicide, not attempted... that is where I was confused. Thanks for the clarification.

And Obama wants more war in Afghanistan.

I wonder if they actually did it to themselfs?

Were they republicans or democrats ?

it does make a difference in evaluating the situation.

They were troubled kids who saw no way out of a depression. It doesn't matter what their political affiliation was.

If they were republicans and all hyped up about the lies about the war. It being such a nice vacation spot and all. And then they saw the reality and realized they had believed a lie sold to them by their country.

I don't believe those would be listed as casualties.

but more people probably killed themselves in Chicago.

Hack.

 

[uscitizen]

You are out of your league on this one Damo.

If they were offed because of what they knew it would matter wouldnt it?

 

[uscitizen]

If they were offed that is a whole nuther ballgame.

Yet you attempt to use them for your own political hackery. Yes, you are a hack on this one, plain and simple.

I can tell stuff that VA employees cannot. That many of the feel lied too and betrayed.

You are the hack here .

 

[evince]

I find it very hard to believe 21 soldiers tried to kill themselves all at once.

This should be all over the news.

You are the only one assuming you are the only volunteer. Whatever these kids felt it has nothing to do with your political agenda, or your assumptions of what they felt.
