The article is basicly about how the military can’t win the war on suicide. The there is more deaths of soldiers that committed suicide then there is of soldiers who los their lifes in Afghanistan. According to the Secretary of Defence this issue is the most hardest thing he has had to deal with. The Pentegon’s Help line is one way to help but with waiting up to an hour that gives enough time to think of the option of suicide. It is sad seeing our troops coming back and killing them selfs, so this article is put on the table to show that this topic has importance.

War on Sucide
In their scholarly article “The War
on Suicide” (2012) by Mark Thompson and Nancy Gibbs state that the veterans
from 2001 through 2012 that have committed suicide has trespassed the number of
deaths of soldiers from the war in Afghanistan. The first give an example of
two soldiers who committed suicide and proceed to what important people have to
say about this issue. Next the authors talk the stress the soldiers have also
with the social stigma and the help of getting mental assistance. If you are or
have a family member that is in the military then this is an article worth
reading.
