Stress on special ops troops 'worse than we thought'
An interesting, if horrific read. Also worth looking at is the US DODSER ( DoD Suicide Event Review ) data and the UK military stats.
Folks - don't let one story convince you that suicide in serving and veteran troops is low. The academic evidence suggests otherwise.
In 2012 more US troops (Active Duty and Reserve) killed themselves than were killed in combat.
In the same year 6500 US veterans (including those who left the service the previous week) took their own lives.
The UK isn't different - we are just not seeing it in such brutal numbers.
I don't often rant, but this is a specialist subject of mine.
