My heart and prayers go out to these familys of men and women who serve their country who have commited suiside and who are suffering from post stress/depression. Our so called leaders dont realize what war does to these men/women who do 2-3 tours of duty in a hostile country, they think medication will help these people but it doesnt, I have known people who have recieved treatment for depression who are suisidal,it does help some but when a person is mind set on taking there lifes its hard to stop it.Our socalled professional doctors think they know the answers but they dont.There are those who think they are strong minded but when they have had to go to combat and kill or be killed,seen there buddies killed before there very eyes it takes a great toll on a person and some just cant handle the guilt.They use the ole saying that suiside is a permenant solution to a temporary problem,well they need to get rid of that saying cuz no one knows exactly why a person takes there lives, oh sure people might speculate why but thats all it is is speculation.Theres going to be alot of men/women who will suffer the effects of this war for the rest of there breathing lives and some wont be able to cope.
