Soldier Suicides at Record Level
Submitted by Melinda Secor on Thu, 2008-01-31 17:00
?Suicides among active-duty soldiers in 2007 reached their highest level since the Army began keeping such records in 1980, according to a draft internal study obtained by The Washington Post. Last year, 121 soldiers took their own lives, nearly 20 percent more than in 2006. At the same time, the number of attempted suicides or self-inflicted injuries in the Army has jumped sixfold since the Iraq war began.? (Free Reg. Req.)
