New Study Finds 300k Troops have Mental Probs

This just in! Apparently spending years traveling back and forth from a war zone where you spend most of your time wondering if that kid next to you wants a hug or is about to blow up is bad for you.

So says Reuters.


I mean, this doesn't seem like really shocking news to me. It reminds me of another article i read recently claiming that U.S. troop suicides are reaching all-time highs.

From the article at CNN:

"Every day, five U.S. soldiers try to kill themselves. Before the Iraq war began, that figure was less than one suicide attempt a day."

Awesome.

Also of note, when you Google U.S. Troop Suicide up, this is the first story.

Fun times with the American nightmare, eh?
