2012 Soldier Suicides vs. Combat Deaths

(Washington D.C.)
The military faced a grim statistic in 2012 as soldier suicides outnumbered combat-related deaths for the year.

Through November this year, potentially 303 active-duty, Reserve and National Guard soldiers took their own lives. In Afghanistan 212 soldiers were killed as of Dec. 7.
It's disturbing to read stuff like this.
