541 military service members died by suicide in 2018, DOD report shows
It's easy to find ways to die when there are people trying to kill you. Most that enlist do so protect and serve the nation. But what they have been forced to do the last three years has been contrary to that mission. The "civilian leadership" has attacked demeaned them for no other reason than inflate their own petty egos. They DO NOT WANT TO BE MERCENARIES! They want to protect children, not cage them. They stand with allies; They don't abandon them!
The article doesn't address the 22+ veterans a day who chose suicide. This number comes from the VA but it only includes the 21 reporting states. It also doesn't cover those who kill themselves without leaving a note, uses others to die, or the homeless that are never identified.
I represent an unscripted TV series called Horses and Heroes. It will tell veterans stories as they work together to find new coping skills for their physical and emotional challenges. it will help break down the barriers that prevent veterans from seeking help and give them al alternatives to being numbed by drugs.
