The Progress in Preventing Military Suicides and Challenges in Detection and Care of the Invisible Wounds of War by Committee on Armed Services United States Senate PDF Summary

Book Description: The increase in suicides by military personnel in the last few years is alarming. In 2007, 115 Army soldiers committed suicide. In 2008, the number increased to 140, and to 162 in 2009. Similarly, 33 marines committed suicide in 2007, 42 in 2008, and 52 in 2009. I understand there are a number of additional cases where the Armed Forces medical examiner has not yet concluded whether the deaths are by suicide. So, the 2009 numbers will likely be even higher. These increases indicate that, despite the Services' efforts, there is still much work to be done. We must improve our suicide prevention efforts to reverse the number of service members taking their own lives.
