You know, the armed forces have always had staggering suicide rates, no one cared before- I'm not surprised they don't care now. We send them to unjust and illegal wars turning them into war criminals, and cut their benefits, disregard their diseases, allow them to kill themselves off one by one, and if they don't they can die in a crappy, understaffed, porrly run veterans home. It is disgusting. It amkes me so sad. All the "patriots" with flags on their cars who talk big about supporting troops are full of crap. I don't see them sending kevlar vests, paying for health care, writing letters to our gov't to demand better mental health care. It really pisses me off. Who *really* supports the troops. I support them in coming home to their families, I supprt them getting better benefits and health care. I just don't supprt them going into tiny, poorly run countries and dying all over the palce for no good reason other than Halliburton's bottom line. Doesn't our gov't realize that by taking such shabby care of our soldiers we make ourselves a laughing stock? This will backfire. Or at least, I pray it will.
