Suicide and the soldier

http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/02/05/army.suicides/

It makes you wonder how they don't know what's going on, or try to attribute the escalating rate of soldier suicide to the winter blues.
It would seem that they over look the factor that the induction of psychotropic drugs
have on an already dismal situation.
This is what your tax dollars are doing for your children, for the further enhancing of Pharma's wallet at the expense of innocent lives.

One week after the U.S. Army announced record suicide rates among its soldiers last year, the service is worried about a spike in possible suicides in the new year.
Cause and affect

If reports of suicides are confirmed, more soldiers will have taken their lives in January than died in combat.

The Army said 24 soldiers are believed to have committed suicide in January alone -- six times as many as killed themselves in January 2008, according to statistics released Thursday.

The Army said it already has confirmed seven suicides, with 17 additional cases pending that it believes investigators will confirm as suicides for January.

If those prove true, more soldiers will have killed themselves than died in combat last month. According to Pentagon statistics, there were 16 U.S. combat deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq in January.

"This is terrifying," an Army official said. "We do not know what is going on."

The taking of the taxpayer by the ties that bind


Pharmaceutical products could be employed to boost the performance of one army's soldiers while undermining the minds of those on the other, according to a National Research Council report drafted for the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency.

The report, "Emerging Cognitive Neuroscience and Related Technologies," addresses the question of how emerging neuroscience technologies and an increased understanding of the mind's functioning will affect police and the military.
