Troop Suicides Highest Since Record Keeping Began


Remind me how Republicans "supported our troops" over the last eight years? This from Democracy Now!

Army Suicides at Record High

...suicides amongst US troops have increased to a three-decade high. Pentagon officials say at least 128 soldiers took their own lives last year. The final tally could be higher, as more than a dozen other deaths are still under investigation. It’s the highest total since record keeping began in 1980.
