My take on military suicides, while not backed up by a study or anything, is based on limited experience.
In the 15 months I've been here there has been several suicides and suicide attempts. Some of the attempts were within my unit, thankfully none succeeded and they have all gotten help. Those that did succeed were within my brigade, but I didn't know them or anything.
There has been one issue common to every case. EVERY SINGLE CASE! A cheating female.
What does that mean or how can we fix it? Heck if I know. I just feel bad for anyone that is married or has a girlfriend that thinks she is going to be faithful to him while he is gone.
