That’s 188 last year alone. But these numbers included only “active duty” soldiers. <BR/><BR/>CBS News went to the Department of Veterans Affairs, where Dr. Ira Katz is head of mental health. <BR/><BR/>"There is no epidemic in suicide in the VA, but suicide is a major problem," he said. <BR/><BR/>Why hasn't the VA done a national study seeking national data on how many veterans have committed suicide in this country? <BR/><BR/>"That research is ongoing,” he said. <BR/><BR/>So CBS News did an investigation - asking all 50 states for their suicide data, based on death records, for veterans and non-veterans, dating back to 1995. Forty-five states sent what turned out to be a mountain of information. <BR/><BR/>And what it revealed was stunning. <BR/><BR/>In 2005, for example, in just those 45 states, there were at least 6,256 suicides among those who served in the armed forces. That’s 120 each and every week, in just one year. <BR/><BR/>Dr. Steve Rathbun is the acting head of the Epidemiology and Biostatistics Department at the University of Georgia. CBS News asked him to run a detailed analysis of the raw numbers that we obtained from state authorities for 2004 and 2005. <BR/><BR/>It found that veterans were more than twice as likely to commit suicide in 2005 than non-vets. (Veterans committed suicide at the rate of between 18.7 to 20.8 per 100,000, compared to other Americans, who did so at the rate of 8.9 per 100,000.) <BR/><BR/>One age group stood out. Veterans aged 20 through 24, those who have served during the war on terror. They had the highest suicide rate among all veterans, estimated between two and four times higher than civilians the same age. (The suicide rate for non-veterans is 8.3 per 100,000, while the rate for veterans was found to be between 22.9 and 31.9 per 100,000) <BR/><BR/>"Wow! Those are devastating," said Paul Sullivan, a former VA analyst who is now an advocate for veterans rights from the group Veterans For Common Sense.</I></B><BR/><BR/><BR/>A few hundred suicides, which is bad but not as bad as 17,000 per year, that is bunk.<BR/><BR/>And average of 18.7 PER 100,000 Troops not PER DAY!<BR/><BR/>Not 17,000 PER YEAR!<BR/><BR/>2,200..

As you may recall, most recently, he beat Sen. John Kerry.<BR/><BR/>How do you figure that the president is a dictator. Since Code Pink maintains such close ties with dictators like Hugo Chavez you would think that you might know what a dictator is. Since Medea Benjamin lived in communist Cuba, and described it as heaven, you would think that you would know what it really is to live under a dictatorship.<BR/><BR/>In your mind any action the president takes to protect the country is dictatorial. You offer heaps of criticism but no answers. We are fortunate to have President Bush in the critical time. If someone like you led the country, you would appease the very people who are out to destroy us.<BR/><BR/>Medea Benjamin is in Pakistan protesting, but do you notice she is silent when it comes to what her friend Hugo Chavez is doing to solidify his hold on power? I wonder why that is? The answer is that Code Pink embraces the enemies of the United States and is trying to do whatever it can to undermine our security rather than promote it. Marie is right when she says you are on the fringes.<BR/><BR/>Eileen, your criticism falls on deaf ears because you offer only criticism and no solutions. You offer vile rhetoric instead of poetry, beauty and light. Your views are so myopic that you should feel sorry for yourself in the sense that you have to align yourself with these fringe elements to feel somehow intellectually important.<BR/><BR/>Don't change, keep spewing your bile and making your ridiculous accusations. You may persuade a few ignorant college students, but not much more. You are nothing but the equivalent of a gadfly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927240156474434943.post-47385560775544091342007-12-01T02:35:00.000-05:002007-12-01T02:35:00.000-05:00Hostile? You fucking bet we're hostile. Our countr...Hostile? You fucking bet we're hostile. Our country has been twisted and perverted by a foul dictator and people we love and care about are dying or being mortally wounded for a stinking LIE.<BR/><BR/>We are for peace, for love, and for freedom. If you do not respect those ideals, what should it matter to you if you do not receive them from us? In one breath you throw your stinking lies and insults up in our faces and then you have the nerve to complain when you receive back contempt and hostility along with the ugly truth you refuse to see? If you want respect instead of hostility, then let's see that from you! <BR/><BR/>I'm not holding my breath though. It's all I can do to muster enough compassion to understand that you yourself are not much more but a foolish, willing victim. The day WILL come when the truth is brought to light in a manner you will no longer be able to ignore. You poor, pathetic fool. How you and those like you will weep with shame and horror on that day as you remember that you were warned over and over. As much as you spew your vindictive hatred and lies here, on that day it will be your voices - what few that might be left! - that drown out ours as the world cries out for the Bush administration to be brought to justice for their war crimes.Eileen Coleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336209796090979155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4927240156474434943.post-57412385048152075052007-12-01T02:14:00.000-05:002007-12-01T02:14:00.000-05:00Al Qaeda gone from Iraq? More propagandist BS. We ...Al Qaeda gone from Iraq? More propagandist BS. We drove EVERYONE away by turning off electricity and water to major cities. Great accomplishment there. As your so called "normalization" returns, so will the insurgency. Play these pathetic games with someone stupid enough to believe them.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, terrorist groups cause actual terror. They do this by imposing an atmosphere of violence and fear. If there is any organizaton responsible for fear and terror in the world today it is the very Bush administration that simultaneously exploits and propagates that violence and fear.<BR/><BR/>I realize that it is a frightening experience for someone like you to think independently, that's why you mindlessly parrot the lies you are told at every available opportunity and never question them. However be assured that the only way CodePink will ever "terrorize" you is in that manner - by questioning the lies you mindlessly swallow and regurgitate. It is we, the true majority in this nation, who do not have to shut up just because brainwashed morons like yourself can't handle anything that forces you to think about the consequences of America's callous actions and disgusting lies.Eileen Coleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336209796090979155noreply@blogger.com
