WASHINGTON - The number of U.S. Army soldiers who took their own lives increased last year to the highest total since 1993, despite a growing effort by the Army to detect and prevent suicides.
"Although we are not alarmed by the slight increase, we do take suicide prevention very seriously," said Army spokesman Col. Joseph Curtin.
NOT FUCKING ALARMED!? Are you Fucking Kidding me Col. Curtin?? Well I guess when you don't provide adequate body armor, or don't give a shit what happens when these man and women return to the US, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that this wouldn't alarm the idiots in charge.
"Soldiers also get cards and booklets that outline suicide warning signs and how to get help." Oh, isn't that nice of them.
The article is a sad potrayal of yet another casuality of Bush's unnecessary war.
