More soldiers die by suicide than in combat ASHINGTON.—From the invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001 until last summer, 761 soldiers in the U.S. Army have died in combat there, while in the same time period, 817 have taken their own lives. More soldiers die by suicide than in combatTime magazine reported these figures in an article titled: "Is the U.S. army loosing the battle on suicide?" The phenomenon of soldiers who commit suicide, which has surged over the last five years, has turned into the greatest problem for senior officials in the U.S. Armed Forces. The figures illustrate that a solution has still not been found, despite the military having invested millions of dollars and used hundreds of mental health professionals, including psychologists and psychiatrists. According to Time, beyond the efforts of the medical plan, the problem is linked to soldiers’ commitment in combat. New research shows that in reality there is a very strong link between the number of times soldiers are deployed and the number of suicides. (ANSA)
