"Suicide rates are surging in the U.S. Military. The Reasons for this are not fully understood. Studies point to increased combat exposure, post traumatic stress, misuses of prescription medications & personal financial problems.
 
There has been an 18% increase in military suicides since last year, and a 25% increase from two years ago."
