By the end of last month, as many as 93 active duty soldiers had killed themselves so far this year, although 31 of those deaths remained under investigation. If the total is confirmed and the trend continues, the suicide rate among soldiers would exceed that of the general US population for the first time since the Vietnam War, officials said, and top last years figure of 115, the highest annual toll on record. "With four months left, were probably going to surpass 115," Colonel Eddie Stephens, the armys deputy director of human resources policy, told a Pentagon news conference. The figures were revealed as Army General David Petraeus, Americas senior commander in Iraq, recommended delaying troop reductions in Iraq until next year. zum Artikel...
