The Truth About Veteran Suicides

Eighteen American war veterans kill themselves every day. One thousand former soldiers receiving care from the Department of Veterans Affairs attempt suicide every month .

More veterans are committing suicide than are dying in combat overseas.

These are statistics that most Americans don't know, because the Bush administration has refused to tell them. Since the start of the Iraq War, the government has tried to present it as a war without casualties.

WHAT A BUNCH OF BULLSH*T !!!!!

They also say that, annually in the US:

100,000 die from HIV complications
250,000 from strokes
300,000 from diabetics
125,000 from breast cancer
275,000 from liver disease (alcohol)
390,000 from prostrate cancer
111,000 from vehicular accidents
265,000 from brain cancer
600,000 from Alzheimers
175,000 from domestic violence
38,000 from ingrain toenail fungus

.... and the list goes on and on until the year 2015, when no one will be left in USA.

How stupid do these liberals think we are ?

Try not adding an extra zero to some of them, then you get the right figures. The HIV one is right (though I don't believe that HIV causes AIDS), the vehicular accidents one is right, and the domestic violence one is right.

The rest have an added zero or two, at least.

You do have a point however that if we take all the figures at face value...... that it appears that everyone will be dead in the United States by the middle of this century.
Oh, and it isn't liberals who spout these numbers: it is also conservatives.

Yes, there would be no one left if we weren't reproducing, numbnuts, but the cycle of life goes on and while millions of people die millions more are being born.

Those statistics won't mean much to you until you're one of them, then I'll bet you'll sit up and take notice.

"These are statistics that most Americans don't know, because the Bush administration has refused to tell them".
What kind of crap is that? Has the Bush administration silenced everyone that knows the statistics. Is the Bush administration in charge of telling everyone everything they need to know. Nancy Palosi said that when the Democrat party got into power they were going to pass legislation that would control the rising gas prices. Wow, look at the great job they have done so far. The prices have increased beyond our wildest dream.

When it comes to the Army..... yes, it is Bush's responsibility and he HAS silenced everyone who knows the statistics with threats of being discharged.

Of course Dubya wants to hide the real numbers about this war. He lied to start it, so continuing to lie is easy for him.

Some stupid Libtard started this.
Let me add this:
98% of Blacks in America suffer from a genetic defect called "Sickle Cell Syndrome".
Not a one of them has committed suicide becuase of it. Some have hari-karied because of the welfare dept cut off their food stamps, but that's about it.

You're confused. I'm against killing. That's why I hate Bush, Cheney, Rummy and the rest.

I leave it to you chickenhawks to talk about how cool it is when people die.
