western society isn't interested in re-establishing veterans into society, these men are expendable to the elite of wall st. There are only two types of citizen; the consumer and the soldier. the elite rulers don't want world peace or brotherhood they want us to keep killing and consuming and dying while they cash in Billions of dollars.

Thats because they realize they murdered people in the name of oil.

"Fighting wars for decades to come"? More WMD/Terrorist incitements in the works? Four of my family have served and two in war. None feel proud, none feel they were figthing with a god on their side. My father inlaw served in WWII He claimed pts until his death at age 89.

@gamersxs That's what I'm thinking.. The 'treatment'/ 'rehab' for soldiers is a fraud.. They're just interested if you're still able to kill or not. When they answer: no, they'll be monitored by the Gov. so they can't rebel against. My robuste theory..

[gamersxs]

Maybe they aren't killing themselves, maybe they know too much

we need a good vietnam vet to stand up and exercise there right to free speech, we need to fix the united states. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed

@Harryclownie remember its just money they want it is Power and world domination and manipulation. In war there are certain things that are done to them. It is easier to have them kill themselves rather than take of them for the rest of there lives. The suicides are not initially self directed, believe this. Since when did post war make a suicide watch ! Vietnam war was long hard and trying to the men that served yet, there was not as many suicide attempts as there are now among vets. Think!

Does anyone wonder why so many want to commit suicide? Is it because so many forget about them and do not understand what they went through and the emotional trauma. Why do they not have seminars in these hospitals by religious clergy telling them the value of life created by God and that suicide is a  mortal sin, it is murder of one self. When people go to war, as it states in Deuteronomy, God told the people do not be afraid because I will go with you.
