Navy Admiral Mike Mullen (ret.), former chairman of the Joint

has “18

to the
incomprehensible stresses of military life, which he said are
compounded by a public that is increasingly disconnected from the
ongoing wars.

Military suicides rose dramatically after the start of the Iraq
war,
according to a recent study by the Army’s Public Health
Command. That
same study found that in 2008, 1 in 5 U.S. soldiers voluntarily
submitted to a mental health evaluation, “implying a prevalent
public
health problem.” Since then, the military’s suicide rate has
continued
to climb, hitting a 10-year high in 2012, even though U.S.
forces are
almost entirely withdrawn from Iraq.

As bad as that sounds, it gets worse: Those figures only
account for
active duty soldiers, and not soldiers who have returned to
private
life. If Mullen is correct, then the problem of military
suicides is
even worse than previously known.

“If I’m a 5-year-old boy or girl in the family of one of these
deploying units for the army whose average deployment was 12
months at
a time, and my dad or mom – but mostly my dad – has deployed at
this
pace, I’m now 15 or 16 years old, and my dad has been gone
three, four
or five times,” Mullen explained during an appearance at the
Aspen
Ideas Festival last weekend. “And my whole conscious life, from
the
time when I was 5 and I started to figure out that there was
something
out there, my whole conscious life has been at war. The United
States
has never, never experienced that before. And we see incredible
stresses on families.”

War provides an excellent return for the 1% who have
investments in
military hardware, not so much for the rest of us.

The negative residue emanating from the Bush Administration
never ends.
I think our military forces in Iraq and now Afghanistan are
wasting
their lives, but I feel badly for their sacrifices and those of
their
families. We don't take care of them properly upon their return
home,
and that may be the ultimate tragedy.

Can't you morons take responsibility for your own ****. Your boy
escalated Afghanastan.

I suspect X-Man was a coward draft dodger.

Ding, ding, ding... we have a winner...

Yeah right...you showed up in your mother's dress ranting and raving
to get a whacko deferment.



My guess is that Little****Snotty was too young to be drafted for
Vietnam, and that war was pretty much the end of the draft. If he
"volunteered," he probably was rejected for any number of reasons,
including his ponytail.


Whatever harry, I volunteered, you ran...



No, little****..."ran" implies I took steps to avoid the draft or "hid"
from the draft board. I did neither. I registered, and when I moved, I
informed the draft board of my whereabouts. I simply never got a notice.

And what happened when you volunteered, little****? You were turned
down, right?

Your "suspicions" won't lead to you to any conclusions that are valid.

I wasn't drafted. My draft board knew of my whereabouts in this country.
Therefore, I was not a draft dodger.

I know you are not too bright, but the reality is that only a small
percentage of age-eligible males was "drafted" during the years I could
have been drafted.

I just spent several days in Ontario. *Lovely folks, nothing at all

Canuckles lives in Alberta.....or at least he did.

Is that where they send the right wing malcontents? Based on his
