[quote=JOHNNY512,307880]Do you stereotype that soldiers are more firm-willed than civilians? You got the wrong idea. American government says, over 22,000 veterans called suice hot line(the National Suicide Prevention Hotline)to seek mental help. About 221 suicides have been averted. A recent study by RAND Corp says that about 20% veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan display symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. They are more likely to commit suide than those men who are not veterans. It is disappointing news.Soldiers are generally thought to have steel-like willpower. They are fearless and callous. Most soldiers are trained to never yield to enemies no matter how powerful their enemies are. How can they become so vulnerable in their private lives? A soldier who wants to commit suide is qualified soldier? [/quote]
