What I did show you, as did CJ, two different studies which state very clearly that the suicide rate for military men is twice the rate of non military men.
I'm pretty sure it was only one study, and that study appears to be faulty.
Also, as you quoted yourself, the statement was about suicide and murder rates, and homelessness, not just suicide. For murder rates in particular the evidence is that its the opposite, that rates of murder by (or I think of, but I don't have hard data on that) veterans are lower.
Ever since then you have been bouncing back and forth, waving your hands in the air and stamping your feet rather than admit that you were wrong.
No since then I've pointed out several ways that the study could be faulty. You pointed out that one of the possible faults isn't really a fault. I agreed with your counter point. You keep bringing up that point again, and again, after I've acknowledged it close to a half dozen times, and talked about acknowledging it several more times. Then you continue to ignore any other point about all the weaknesses in the study, which include weaknesses as basic and obvious as the math in their published results not working out. volokh.com
You should either, admit that the statement you made is false, or address the glaring fault addressed in the link above, or drop that faulty study and find other evidence to support your claim, or just move on and drop the topic. |
