Army Searching for Suicide Prevention Program
- Good luck with that. U.S. Army says: It’s not war; the “risky behavior” of our troops at home drives them to suicide. -
From the VA: Every Warrior and Veteran lost to suicide is one too many. That’s why the Army is commissioning a three year study to find which suicide prevention program works the best – and along with Florida State University, the Denver VA is leading the way. Read more.

I don’t think so. When I was in the Submarine Force in the 1960s, we had an exceptional esprit de corps, ten times as many volunteers as could be accepted, a high retention rate, and never heard of suicides. All of this with an incredible amount of risk-taking behavior on-duty and off. Today morale in the Submarine Force is unacceptably low and the suicide rate is the highest in the armed forces.
Narcissistic Personality Inventory, This is the group of military people that make up the Top Brass. They have no idea of what it takes, at least in this day and age.
I don,t feel we should let anyone in the military without a 30 day indoctrination, That would remove the ones both by the military and the ability of the solder to go through the probation period without a Tantamount of a life ending dishonorable discharge,
This would cost some money, Yes, However how much would it save in disability payments or the defense in denying them, because in the 30 day period they would be checked for things that is impossible to discover in a hour, It would also let the trainee discover if they are equipped for the rigors of the military.
I would not let anyone under the age of 17 years old, A large portion of the young today are just not able to comprehend the values of what they are doing.
With this would come the probation period that would allow the military to not have to pay for the cost of taking away the life of the stupid mistakes we as humans are allowed to make.
I understand that there must be discipline in the military, but you have a chance to test drive the car before buying it,
I can only imagine the pleasure they derive from ruining the life of the solders life, I bet they even have a board game made up for there own pleasure.
