POPSSuicides in US Army Up - Nearly 5 Times Higher Than Civilian Population Separating news and spin designed to sell advertising and policy is not always easy but this only took 2 minutes of googling to find that 11 people per 100,000 is the average suicide rate. There are 548 thousand or so people in the US Army. If 200 suicides occur in the Army before year's end that will be 4-5 times higher than overall civilian population. It is still higher than expected if you look at high stress jobs and it is higher than it was a few years ago, as reported by the US Army. Could it be that they are facing two additional stresses that when combined drive more to depression and suicide? 1. Having to return to duty in Iraq or Afghanistan quicker and more often. 2. A recession that seems to say no civilian job is likely as an alternative to continued service.

POPSThe War Condolences Obama Hasn’t Sent
Chance was very troubled during his first tour of duty in Iraq, although he performed admirably by all accounts. At one point he was put on a suicide watch and had his ammunition taken away for a week. After Iraq, Chance declined a $27,000 reenlistment bonus and transitioned to the U.S. Army Reserves, hoping to avoid another deployment. He sought and was receiving treatment at a Veterans Affairs facility. Gregg said, “We sat down as a family, and we said, ‘President Obama is going to be elected, and President Obama will end this war, and you won’t have to go.’ ” But then his son’s orders to deploy came again. the GI Rights Hotline, which advises active-duty soldiers on options for leaving the military, says outside psychological professionals can help suicidal soldiers obtain a medical discharge: “The military wants to know whether the patient can perform their duties without causing trouble, embarrassment or expense. His or her welfare is distinctly less important.”

POPSNurse Encourages Suicides Online While the victims' families are frustrated that no charges have been filed, legal experts said prosecuting such a case would be difficult because Melchert-Dinkel didn't physically help kill them. In the meantime, he has been stripped of his nursing license. Last May, a Minnesota task force on Internet crimes searched Melchert-Dinkel's computer and found a Web chat between him and the young Canadian woman describing the best way to tie knots. In their search warrant, investigators said Melchert-Dinkel "admitted he has asked persons to watch their suicide via webcam but has not done so."

POPSMuslims Pressuring Women To Commit Suicide Elif, 18, from Batman in southeast Turkey, was told by her father she must kill herself so he would not be sent to prison for murdering her after she refused an offer of an arranged marriage with an older man. “I loved my father so much, I was ready to commit suicide for him even though I hadn’t done anything wrong,” she said. “But I just couldn’t go through with it. I love life too much.” The young woman was forced to flee and go into hiding. Her uncles and other relatives have been hunting her for the past eight months, even conducting an armed raid of a women’s shelter where she had been. “I managed to escape,” said Elif. “When I was at school, a few girls I knew were killed by their families in the name of honor – one of them for simply receiving a text message from a boy.” In her hometown of Batman – nicknamed “Suicide City” – 75 percent of all suicides are committed now by women.
