What Do You Think Is the Suicide Rate of Our Veterans Per Day?
Question by James: What do you think is the suicide rate of our veterans per day?
From the anti war . com website it is revealed it is 18 per day or 6,720 per year and so today we lost 12 to a killing spree while 18 others took their lives from PTSD, HOMELESSNESS and DRUG ABUSE due to the horrors of war. So, should we get out of war completely? Is this the answer we wanted for 911? Your thoughts?

A Journey Home: One Marine’s Story – Nearly one in five veterans suffer from substance abuse and PTSD. Veterans Healing Initiative, a nonprofit, is dedicated to providing veterans of all eras access to treatment for substance abuse and PTSD. The facts: 18 veterans commit suicide every day. On any given night, 300000 veterans are homeless and more than 76% of these vets suffer from substance abuse or a mental health disorder. As many as 35% of wounded troops are addicted to pain medication. Reserve and National Guard don’t have access to the full range of VA benefits. Vets from Iraq and Afghanistan face multiple deployments and shorter breaks between deployments–for these vets, the clock’s ticking. See one Marine’s journey home. Thousands more waiting for treatment. Help us help them at Veterans Healing Initiative, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. To learn more or to donate, click www.vetshealing.org. Thank you.
