Suicide Rate Skyrockets Among Iraq Vets


The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the suicide amongst our returning vets is sky-rocking in California; and other media outlets have reported that the suicide rate nationally may already comparable to the current in-combat death toll.

We need to take care of our Vets. This is really troubling. These soldiers are fighting in a war that most of the American people disagree with, only to return from battle with physical and emotional traumas that are remaining untreated or under-treated. Judiciary and Veteran's Committees needs to focus much more intensely into this one.
