FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda According to a report published by the US military’s Defense Casualty Analysis System, there were 182 potential active-duty suicides last year, 130 of which were confirmed and 52 others still under investigation.
There also were 143 potential not-on-active-duty suicides in 2012, 117 of them were confirmed while 26 others remained under investigation, the report added.
The figures exceeded the number of American soldiers (313) died in Afghanistan during the US-led war in the war-ravaged country in 2012.
Lieutenant General Howard Bromberg, deputy chief of staff, manpower and personnel, said that the figures were “our highest on record.”
In 2011, there were 283 confirmed or potential suicides, including 165 confirmed active-duty suicides and 118 confirmed not-on-active-duty suicides.
The figures came despite the military’s efforts to decrease the number of suicides through counseling programs and extensive support.
Meanwhile, a recent study, performed by a VA researcher, said that nearly 22 war veterans of the country commit suicide per day, almost 20 percent higher than the 2007 rate.
The study also said that two-thirds of the veterans who kill themselves are 50 year old or older, indicating that the surge in the suicide rate among US veterans is not chiefly shaped by soldiers that recently fought in the US-led war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
