Increase in suicide rate of Veterans
Posted on Jan 12, 2010
The suicide rate among 18- to 29-year-old veteran men who have left the military has gone up significantly by 26 percent from 2005 to 2007, according to data from the Veterans Affairs Department. Veterans Affairs officials said they assume that most of the veterans in this age group served in Iraq or Afghanistan.
The military has also struggled with an increase in suicides, with the Army seeing a record number last year but it has been more difficult to track suicide information on veterans once they've left active duty.
More than 30,000 suicides each year in America, about 20 percent are committed by veterans.
