... this year alone !

Also, a further 1000 soldiers attempted suicide on return from Iraq (again this year).

All figures from Newsnight last night, who also reported that 25% of returning soldiers need psychiatric help.

Instant Karma ?

All soldiers have a myriad of pshychiatric problems after returning home from a front line. In the 1920's it was termed 'shell shock' to those men whom still suffered long after WW1 had ended. Many Vietnam veterans succumbed to suicide, became at best hopeless alcoholics, junkies etc'. It is painfully sad, and true that those on the front line are often forgotten and often return to find they cannot adjust to normal living. Let's also remember that Iraq is probably one of the most horrific wars in recent times. The numbers of casulaties of both miltary and civilians have surpassed record levels.
