Paratrooper Suicides in the 82nd Airborne May Receive Fewer Honors

It's unfortunate, but I wouldn't want to put my family through that pain and uncertainty. Being here in Division, man I've known a few fellow Paratroopers who took their lives and I have to say, you have to be involved AT ALL TIMES with your Soldiers. Not to say, babysit but be compassionate, know your Soldiers. The fact the Army is still having Suicides after all of the training and resources available to Soldiers to mitigate and reduce the increasing trend of Soldiers taking their own lives.

I can see this two ways really. First there is enough support out there that no one should take it to the point of commiting suicide. That of course is if they asked for help, but there NCO, fellow troop or someone should be able to see warning signs and then step up and try to help or get them help of course they can refuse. But there is no honor in committing suicide. On the other hand if you served this country honorable up to the point of suicide you should be given the honor you deserve.
But remember most people are remember for the last thing they did, not everything else.
