the veteran suicide rate is fucking hilarious
>>475698458can any veterans on here give us a quick QRD on why you fine folks enjoy being an hero so much?
This is misleading. The Male suicide rate is much higher than women. Also, majority of vets are White. Suicide rate for White male is the highest.
>>475698458That or homelessness
It doesn't say whether they got honorable or dishonorable discharges. They may all be guys discharged for failing drug tests, got too fat, or committed a crime.
Half those guys didn't even see combat. Does basic training fuck with you that badly?
>>475698646Selection bias. The guys who sign up are just more prone to all types of impulsive high risk stereotypical young male behavior. A higher rate of poor rural men as well, who might go home to family or relationship problems. Your 20s is the most dangerous period of your life as a man. There should be more emphasis on just making it to 30 without doing something retarded that permanently ruins your life.
>>475698458Surprising that so many people don't have the ability to compartmentalize the mind and just forget about it. I wonder what drugs they fed them on deployment.
>>475698646>be lil Timmy / Tyrone>be dumb as a fucking rock>eat crayons at daycare>fail high school, can't afford further education>literally all you have is your body because your head is empty>nothing to do, no way to esrn money, don't have the looks to be gigolo>the only way to make ends meet is killing>killing is illegal unless government mandated>recruiter promises you will be like thos cool guys in call of battlefield wars>sign papers, go to bootcamp, go shoot people>come home, PTSD and nightmares from sandpeople IEDs made from goat poop, cooking pot and 3 forks>meds cost a fortune>all you have is your crippled body and broken mind>you were only taught to kill and now you have nothing to do again>drink all day, your life's no fun>only exit is a gun
>>475698458I can't speak for other veterans but I imagine it has a lot to do with VA disability allowing us to essentially retire and do nothing at a young age. I've been doing nothing for a few years now and starting to see how bad it is for me
>>475698458Reminder that Rambo is an antiwar Christmas film
>>475701090>kill vastly outgunned sandniggers >retire early Sounds pretty great honestly
>>475699049>Does basic training fuck with you that badly?Absolutely.
>>475698458exact correlation with the tranny suicide rate
>>475699804At least they’re not getting raped by their fellow soldiers and told it’s normal and patriotic. At least they are free and proud to be American.

>>475698458You're not a veteran if you didn't serve in a warNo those police actions in the middle east don't count

>>475699804>>475701546Civilian detected.Vets kill themselves because they miss the boys.>Surrounded by 50+ friends that would all die for each other>Make friends that you love more than your brothers. >Highest highs of your life. Lowest lows of your life>All along you're with people you'd die for>Your job keeps you busy>Trained to be an angry mfker to fuck up the enemy>By the end of contract you're hot shit and respected>Male rough and tumble environment. Say what you want, fight, get fucked up by your seniors, fuck up your juniors.>Get out>All alone>Went from basically running a section to a nothing average Joe>You will never see most of your friends again>You will never experience the comradery againThe people that were fucked up from killing people turned out alright. Its the loyal boys with nostalgia that struggle. They would give anything to go back. Eventually they can't handle the thought of being alone and nothing.
