Baron Von Counterculture Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Just read this article and given the massive number of US troops by comparison, I wondered if this has been occuring and at what levels, among returned US service personel, from either theatre. Save the Iraq wrong/right debate for another thread, I'm strictly interested in this issue alone.... Soldier suicides spark inquiry call April 28, 2007 - 11:09PM There are calls for an inquiry into the mental health of Australian soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan after a number of suicides. The federal government acknowledges two soldiers killed themselves after returning from the Middle East, but veterans activists say there have been as many as five, The Sun-Herald reports. Fearing there will be more soldier suicides, families, war veterans and MPs are demanding an independent inquiry after the suicides believed to have been caused by post-traumatic stress. To date 121 soldiers returned from the Middle East have been discharged for mental illness, the newspaper reports. About two dozen of them have serious psychological problems. Federal Labor MP Catherine King has written to the government requesting an inquiry. http://www.theage.com.au/news/National/Soldier-suicides-spark-inquiry-call/2007/04/28/1177460050652.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stereotype V.0002 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Of the four only 2 were "special ops soldiers". If your wife was fucking around with someone while you were at war you may not take it that great either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
