No info on suicides.

But I would tend to think that they are higher than the general US population since they are in a hostile situation with bad food, bad weather and missing their families and friends. Not conducive to happy thoughts.

sick and disgusting

Hello Spy:

I was horrified today as I a watched CNN piece noting that 501 American (soul)diers have been killed in Iraq, that it is more fatalities in war since Vietnam.  They  had the appauling insentivity to ASK folks on the street how they thought about it and ALL the commenters said things like, "It's not that high a price to pay" and "it's worth it"  THESE ARE LIVING PEOPLE SAYING THIS! Ask the families that have lost their child, husband, wife, mother, father, brother, sister--ASK THEM! These deceived servants of America died under lies and political interest--not for democracy, not to keep us "safe" not for liberation of the Iraqi people--but for an insane power elites insatiable need for more power, greed, and worse, I believe--the first step to the Christian destruction of the world, so Jesus can come "in clouds of glory." As you know on my site, those clouds come from a nuclear bomb!
