jesteractivist: More U.S. Soldiers Killed Themselves Than Died in Combat in 2010. Something seems pretty fucked up about this.  For the second year (2010) in a row, more US soldiers killed themselves (468) than died in combat (462). “If you… know the one thing that causes people to commit suicide, please let us know,” General Peter Chiarelli told the Army Times, “because we don’t know.”  Suicide is a tragic but predictable human reaction to being asked to kill – and watch your friends be killed – particularly when it’s for a war based on lies.  Perhaps being required to bag the mangled flesh of fellow soldiers could be another reason that some are committing suicide.More US Soldiers Committed Suicide Than Died in Combat
