Several branches of the military are reporting huge spikes in the number suicides committed by active duty and vets returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Survivors are accusing the VA of medical malpractice, charging that they failed to treat injured vets and misdiagnosing returning combat soldiers who suffer mental illness because of tapped resources. Is the treatment our military equal with the sacrifices they make? (more)
No, the military suicide spike is not an indicator of how we treat our soldiers.

    No one can understand what some of them are going thought.
    They have been lied to and used as a pawns in War that wasn't about protecting our Freedom.
    Invading a country that had nothing to do with 911 and didn't have weapons of mass destuction.
    Unless you consider the Oil wells to be "The weapons of mass destruction" their talking about.
    This was about going back and getting the oil we fail to get in Desert storm War.
    This war was for personnal gain for a few individuals in a investment in Oil and the Military Industrial Complex.
    The Disgrace lies in our leaders ,not in our soldiers.
    To use the tragedy of 911 to go after their own personnal gain.

    okay coolray: No one wants to be in a war. What would suggest we did after 911? Nothing? Oh, "that's alright....it's not your fault you flew our planes into the twin towers and the pentagon" Cowards! So what if they don't have WMD. Maybe they do and we just never found them. For crying out loud, they can hide in the mountains forever and never be found. Don't you think they can bury WMD and we'd never find them? Don't make excuses about the oil being why we went over there. That country needed to be bombed! They are a barbaric county who HATES the U.S. Why would you defend them? Go live there and then see what you think. There is NO shame to our soldiers. They give us the freedom we enjoy today. But with people like you, it may not be here tomorrow if you don't quit playing "pansy ass" with terrrosists! They need to be stopped AT ALL COSTS! Don't you get it? Terrorists won't stop untilt they have control over the U.S. That's their plan. They're quietly coming into the U.S. one by one, pretending they want a better life, but in all reality, they are still very much loyal to their country. For now, they just want to fit in, letting us think they want the same freedoms as we have. Not so...They will take over America, but you and your lousy way of thinking can't see the truth about Muslims. They don't care about human life.

    Your the a close minded idiot!
    That ignors the evidence around you!.
    911 after George Bush came out and admitted that threre was no weapons of mass destruction claiming he was misinformed.
    Admitting Saddam Hassen had nothing to do with 911.
    Idiots like you still want to believe Iraq had something to do with it.
    personnaly I don't care if we go in there and kick their ass and take their oil.
    Its the fact they lied to the people and used our anger over the 911 events to rally ours support go to war with Iraq for their Oil investment. and it becoming clearer as evnts unfold that what this war is really about.
    If they lied to us about that it should make you wonder what else are they lying about and what 911 was really about..
    wither you like Mike Moore or not Farenhiete 911 raised some good questions of. what was really going on and who is really responsible for 911.
    So did Arron Russo s movie "America From freedom to Fascism"
    William Cooper warned us a mounth before 911 that there was going to be a attack .and to watch out for our own government.
    He raised the question on his radio show just before 911 saying;
    Today a CNN reporter walk into Osama bin ladins camp where he is hidding and interviewed him.Heres a guy on the FBI most wanted list who the FBI claims can't f...

    New York city and the white House has a No fly zone.
    Mounths before 911 a guy in a Cessina plane is ordered to land by two armed air force jets cause he was in the no fly zone.
    Yet 3 commercial airline enter the no fly zone.but no jets were sent out.
    I believe 911 was a inside job.
    You talk about our soldiers are defending our Freedom ,but the fact is we don't have any Freedom except freedom of speech and their trying to make that a crime as we speak.
    We're living in a Police state where we are monitored,where they have randon check points and searches without warrent
    911 was a planned not by musilum terrorist hiding in a cave ,but by our own government and the wealthy elite to have complete power over the people.
    To use fear to take away our rights and libertys.
    they used a page out of Hitler's rise to power..
    Fear is the greatist tool to use to get people like you to surrender their freedoms and libertys willingly to corrupt governments.
    A true Patriot is always armed and ready to defend his Freedom.

    I think military suicides...

    People... really.... I WOULD WANT TO KILL MYSELF IF I WERE IN WAR! Why the hell would I want to be in a war? Yes, to serve my country, I get that. But it is a lot to take. Can you imagine seeing pieces of human lying around, or blood soaking your shirt. And the fact that you aren't quiet sure weither it is yours or someone else's. I don't think it is an indicator to how our soldiers are treated. But, I never know. Point being, if I were in a war, I would be F-ed up too. I don't know how I would handle the images.

    Yes, the military suicide spike is an indicator of how we treat our soldiers.

    John McCain is a hypocrite who turns down legislation to help VETS. Write that idiot and ask him why he is a hypocrite.

    Nothing has changed since the 70's from what I can tell. In some respects it's gotten worse for the Vets which is hard to imagine and impossible for me to understand.
