Deltalum, I was just going to say something about that...skew the numbers? What about the fact that some of our nations finest and bravest are throwing away God's most precious gift? Screw the statistics. That's one reason why being involved in the military (either as a serviceperson or as family) is so frustrating. I heard a story once about some women who were widowed as a result of Pearl Harbor. They went to talk to someone "higher up" about how it could have been prevented and how they lost their husbands because of it. The man replied "Ma'am you can't see the forest for the trees," and promptly walked away. I do hope they figure out what's going on w/ these soldiers to prevent anyone else from resulting to suicide. It's a stressful situation out there.
