Well we had another active duty-veteran take their life. Two have been female and I don't know about the other as it has just happened. The total comes to 3 suicides I have knowledge of so far this year. I'm at a loss of what to do. Apparently the VA and the ARMY are not doing their part.

It is really sad but I also want to emphasize that alcohol is a factorate many of them. My sister.
Committed suicide and she was an alcoholic.

Here is an example of a battalion commander who committed suicide after getting drunk and complaining to his friends at the drug enforcement agency that he hated his job. His friend was my team leader. Do not be afraid to call the Local alcoholics automus chapter and go there for meetings.

Its easy to blame alcohol because no one is then forced to examine the underlying cause of why they were trying to numb themselves with alcohol in the first place. Alcohol was not involved with 2 as for the latest one I have no info other than they jumped from a bridge.

Alcohol and other drugs all contribute to this.

LTC Trent Klug President biden is trying to make the young vote for him by saying he will federally legalize marijuana. Maybe some people do just fine being stoned.And it also causes higher rates of lung cancer.But the paranoia psychosis can cause people to kill and not remember.

This is from the Canadian government that has only legalized marijuana. Because Justin Trudeau is like President Biden and he does stuff by decree.
