"The enemy within: Marines battle suicides" by Tony Perry, Los Angeles Times | July 21, 2008
SAN DIEGO - The suicide rate in the active-duty Marine Corps was 16.5 per 100,000 in 2007 - below the active-duty Army and a similar demographic in the civilian population. But it was a jump from 12.9 in 2006.
In the first six months of this year, 25 Marines committed suicide, the most in that length of time since records have been kept. If that trend persists, 2008 could prove to be the most deadly year for Marine suicides since at least the beginning of the war in Afghanistan.
Judging from risk factors, Marine enlistees are prime candidates for suicide. They are young males far from home and family support. They are being stressed to their mental and physical limits. Their coping skills are still maturing.
All for a bunch of GOD-DAMNED LIES!!!!!!!!
Once recruits graduate from boot camp, the risk factors can increase with easy access to weapons, the probability of repeated deployments to Iraq, the likelihood of Dear John letters from girlfriends who become tired of waiting.
But Bush is so pro-family and pro-troops!
