When wars not only kill more people than what a terrorist attack did, BUT THEY GENERATE EVEN MORE SUICIDES!!! @EuthanasiaTelegram

The number of United States troops who have died fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had passed 7,000 at the end of 2019. Approximately 177,000 national military and police from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraqi, and Syria allies have died. Western allies have also borne high human costs https://perma.cc/CSB6-ABSR

The study finds that at least four times as many active duty personnel and war veterans of post-9/11 conflicts have died of suicide than in combat, as an estimated 30,177 have died by suicide as compared with the 7,057 killed in post-9/11 war operations. The report notes that the increasing rates of suicide for both veterans and active duty personnel are outpacing those of the general population - an alarming shift, as suicide rates among service members have historically been lower than suicide rates among the general population https://perma.cc/BXG3-YL5M

Key Findings
Over 7,000 U.S. troops have died, as have approximately 8,000 contractors.
Over 73,000 allied troops and national police in Afghanistan/Pakistan have been killed, and over 100,000 more allied troops have died in Iraq and Syria.
Four times as many U.S. service members have died by suicide than in combat in the post-9/11 wars https://perma.cc/8ZMX-L7RG

In 2008, close to 12 percent of active-duty military personnel reported having seriously considered suicide in the past: 4.6 percent in the past year, 3.3 percent since joining the service but not in the past year, and 3.8 percent seriously considered suicide prior to joining the military but not in the past year (Bray, Pemberton, et al., 2009).

From 2003 to 2009, suicide was the third-leading cause of death in the Army.

but obviously .... almost NO ONE is talking about
