    i hope you're right bonzaii

    it does seem too high based on only about 2 million active military at any given time... but pretty much everyone i know that has been on active military since 9/11 is either dead or has serious ptsd

    check your facts.

    quick search tells me that about 45,000 Americans commit suicide per year.

    My cousin has some serious ptsd, but everyone else I know that was in the military is still alive and seem to be getting along just fine.

    thats what these consipracy theorists do...they take things out of context to support their feeling.

    the 4 million number is for the entire world......

    glad to hear that number is way too high

    maybe they meant "contemplated suicide"? still hasn't been fixed on pepperdine's website
