    CBS reports that in 2005 there was 6256 veterans who commited suicide.
    Every week 120 USA war veterans take their life, thats about 17 a day. Thats more soldiers than dies in Afghanistan and Iraq.
    In addition you have all the war veterans that try to commit suicide, but fails.

    Why cant the USA government understand that they are the cause of this epidemic and do more to help the veterans that suffers from hugh mental problems after being to war?

    The percentage of veterans that commits suicide is still the same regardless of the number, although veterans form Afghanistan and Iraq kills themself more often than other US veterans.

    War veterans has never been taken proper care of in most countries anyway.

    Homeless are 11% od US population, but 20% of vets are homeless.

    The Republican gov't loves to send kiddies to war, but whines about spending money for the wounded and traumatized. They wouldn't even buy men in combat proper armor. What a fucking insult.
