suicides, up?

I know Army wide the number of Suicides is up a great deal. More soldiers lost annually from suicide than combat and training accidents.

it's sad.

Right but the military is also still less than per % than the rest of the US.

Last I saw teh army was at 11 suicides per 100k, and the us was at 18 per 100k, and to add to that the military folks tend to use a more lethal method (think gun to the temple vs a bottle of asprin) so the attempts seem to be much more sucessful
