CCC: Military Suicide Surge and Worries Pentagon

Military suicides surge, worry Pentagon

Robert Burns found a record that more than three hundred forty-nine soldiers have committed suicide over the last year and this epidemic has reflects badly on the Pentagon. Statistics said that most of the suicide that happens with soldier who are deplored in Afghanistan and Iraq, yet it can’t explain why soldier are even taking their own life to begin with. Family of military men and women are worry about this epidemic and want to ensure that no younger generation service member or veterans will ever slip through the crack anymore. Kim Ruocco, wife of a suicide service man, said that our troop coming back from war is truly the danger zone instead of war zone itself.

Suicide prevention is the top priority for the Pentagon in all military, Air Force, and Navy divisions, yet it hard to watch, notice and fill every crack for service member on draft. David Rudd, a lead military suicide researcher and dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Science at the University of Utah, learned that war veterans fight in the current suffer from depression, PTSD(Post-traumatic Stress Disorder), drug abuse, relationship and money problems. He isn’t optimistic about the decline and worries that in will increase.

I knew that there have been homeless veterans in the world, but I didn’t know that there have been military suicides throughout the years. I didn’t really understand the phase “Don’t put your head in the sand” meaning that you shouldn’t be cut yourself off in the world like we know the common information, but we don’t know the small detail in the stories you heard. Miss Miller said to us those veterans who fought for our freedom and now on the street like outcast, why can’t support them is it that hard to do? What can we do so that we can prevent soldier from die on and off the battlefield.
