Why are there more veteran suicides in this war compared to previous wars?

I think it's a different breed altogether. Back then, men were expected to be MEN, suck it up and feed their families. Modern "men" are sensitive and understanding, expected to suck up an entirely different puddle of piss.

Bullsh!t.

Soldiers and sailors kill themselves mostly when Susie Rottencrotch writes them off. Dear John ... .

The VA in Fayetteville, Arkansas added a new mental health wing last year..I haven't used it yet....I was gonna wait till I'm insane,...

You are as sane as I am. Now, that should send you running and screaming to that new wing.

I'm comfortable with my insanity..So this veteran will never off himself..

Or, it could be that such things were not blasted all over the news and openly publicized?
