'The US army has said the number of suicides in the military last year was the highest since records began, with 115 recorded.
The year saw increased violence in Iraq and Afghanistan, and about a quarter of the suicides happened in Iraq.
The extension of deployments from 12 to 15 months added to the strain on soldiers serving abroad.'
'Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used
as pawns for foreign policy.' - Henry Kissinger, quoted by Bob Woodward
in The Final Days, 1976
