Sometimes the suicides start before the wars do.

My friend's young son, around 19 at the time, signed up to the army. Went to do his initial training in Plymouth, where he, and his new friends were all denied outside contact with their families for around 6 weeks. Two of the young lads took their own lives. Luke became so terrified and depressed by the brutal way he was treated that he felt the same way. It was the Chaplain who got him out in time. ALL the families of the lads and lasses who were in that training session were made to sign documents saying they'd not talk about it to the media...

????????

How many other times has that happened?   Terrible.
