and i'll keep on writing about it until our veterans and enlisted men and women get the help they not only need, THEY DESERVE. instead of asking for MORE FUCKING MONEY FOR WAR, why the FUCK don't king george and his court ASK FOR MORE MONEY FOR THE SOLDIERS CARE?

when are we going to say ENOUGH? when when when

elizabeth whiteside is ONE name we know. how many DON'T we know about?

Soldier Suicides at Record Level
Increase Linked to Long Wars, Lack of Army Resources


By Dana Priest Washington Post Staff Writer

Lt. Elizabeth Whiteside, a psychiatric outpatient at Walter Reed Army Medical Center who was waiting for the Army to decide whether to court-martial her for endangering another soldier and turning a gun on herself last year in Iraq, attempted to kill herself Monday evening. In so doing, the 25-year-old Army reservist joined a record number of soldiers who have committed or tried to commit suicide after serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. .........

"I'm very disappointed with the Army," Whiteside wrote in a note before swallowing dozens of antidepressants and other pills. "Hopefully this will help other soldiers."
