Is that number of 18 suicides a day accurate? Damn. This needs way more publicity. If the kids knew this before hand perhaps it would motivate them to refuse to fight in these
god awful wars. But with jobs so hard to find, kids join up out of desperation more than ill- founded patriotic reasons. I have never understood the concept of patriotism because I knew it was always tied to
a willingless to die for one's country. I never suffered from this affliction. I am a world citizen.

ps Keith, no disrespect to you. I have nothing but compassion for people who serve.
