America suffers an epidemic of suicides among traumatised army veterans This is really happening in the nation with the most provision and resources to help these men. And yet we seem to think that enforcing our nation's politics on others brings life and not death, equality and not inequality, health and not ill-health. This sad irony as in all of history is falling on innocent lives, how have we been allowed to be unaware/ignorant of these stats for so long, they have been swept under the rug just like all the other truths and real outcomes of the Iraqi war.

This one's for your Tristan!
