I'm understand this is not a positive thing, but I would argue that the military suicide rate probably already IS higher than that of the general population, and has been for a while.
It makes more sense logically- higher stress, arguably more "violent" work than other professions. I mean, if you are carrying around an automatic weapon daily, at the very least you're more armed than the average worker.
I just hope people will continue to start seeing mental health as as important as physical health, so people can try and get the help they need with less stigma. Who wants a physically healthy but emotionally unsound co-worker?!
