Military Suicides on the Rise?
We hear that our military service men and women are dying by their own hand at an excellerated rate.
To make the words "suicide" and "veteran" synonymous
is to create the perfect blueprint for murder.
LEARN THE FACTS!
No suicide should be pronounced until the crime scene,
evidence, and remains are properly processed!
War changes people. It changes the Soldier. It changes their Family members. NO SOLDIER should feel disgraced because he or she is experiencing difficulty with what they experienced in battle.
Until we begin to show these Brave Warriors the respect they deserve, we may never find an answer to why so many are lost to suicide.
The Video below may help you to understand a little bit about what our Soldiers witness.
WARNING!
EXTREMELY GRAPHIC CONTENT.
Fallujah
The Hidden Massacre
Featuring interviews with U.S. soldiers, Iraqi doctors and international journalists on the U.S. attack on Fallujah. Produced by Italian state broadcaster RAI TV, the documentary charges U.S. warplanes illegally dropped white phosphorus incendiary bombs on civilian populations, burning the skin off Iraqi victims. One U.S. soldier charges this amounts to the U.S. using chemical weapons against the Iraqi people.
