Shocking statistics on US soldier suicides

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Sunday November 18, 2007 17:52author by Aragon Report this post to the editors

More than 6,200 in 2005 alone

Survey puts the true death toll of US service personnel at 15,000

CBS's Investigative Unit have revealed the following:

CBS’s Investigative Unit wanted to do a report on the number of suicides in the military and “submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the Department of Defense”. After 4 months they received a document which showed--that between 1995 and 2007--there were 2,200 suicides among “active duty” soldiers.

Baloney.

The Pentagon was covering up the real magnitude of the “suicide epidemic”. Following an exhaustive investigation of veterans’ suicide data collected from 45 states; CBS discovered that in 2005 alone “THERE WERE AT LEAST 6,256 AMONG THOSE WHO SERVED IN THE ARMED FORCES. THAT’S 120 EACH AND EVERY WEEK IN JUST ONE YEAR.”
