Given the deep division of the election, what effect do you feel it will have on Veteran suicide (will it rise, fall or stay the same)?

I suspect it will not change, suicide is personal choice and has deep levels of cause.

I doubt that people that are becoming overwhelmed by their own personal challenges and demons give two craps about politics.
I would say that I speak for many when I say that this is a very dismaying process between two very flawed individuals.

I'm struggling to understand the link between the results of today's election and the suicide rate among Veterans. Sure, this election has been one of the craziest we have seen in a long time but I think most people will not go to that extreme when the results are made official. What will be interesting is to see how the president-elect takes on such challenges as reforming the VA Health System and control of the DoD once he or she is sitting in the Oval Office.
