WASHINGTON (AP) -- Ninety-nine U.S. soldiers on active duty killed themselves last year, the highest rate of suicide in the Army in 26 years, a military report said.

WSVN-TV - National News - With 99 suicides by soldiers in war zones in 2006, Army suicide rate hits 26-year high

Soldiers volunteer to protect the country when threatened. It must be awful to be used & abused for years based on lies, and then have your tour of duty be continually renewed because the Bush administration is too cowardly to admit a mistake & begin righting the wrongs.

These people have sacrificed their lives, families, & relationships based on farce.

It makes me so angry at all the waste & at all the ppl who supported Bush & the Iraq invasion. But I was angry 4 years ago. I was angry 7 years ago when the election was tampered with by the Supreme Court.

I know, its been very frustrating seeing how these last two elections went. I'm no fan of Ronald Reagan's presidency but as much as I disliked Reagan, I'd take him over Bush right now.

Rove thinks Bush will ultimately be viewed favorably by history.

Yeah right.

Bush's legacy:

0ver 3000, and counting, of these flag drapped coffins



And his total failure to capture/kill him:

Why does America treat the dead soldier better than the living ones?

Did you noticed all the dead were in the clean airconditioned well lite room... The U.S. soldier alive in Iraq are dirty, hot and uncomfortable.

Gives them something to look foreward to.

The terrorists are winning you know.

Reagan was smart enough to pull the troops the fuck out.

That is the cargo hold of a military transport plane.

What do you suppose is driving them to suicide?

The lack of jobs when they get home.
To name one.

Do you suppose it was actually suicide and not murder? I wouldn't think they would be killing themselves if they liked it there.

They probably came here, figured, "Shit, my whole life has been a waste." And before they could cool off they swallowed a shotgun muzzle.

Those men cherish the freedoms this country gives. They earned their birthright, knowing this nation is worth defending and possibly dying for.

Almost all you peeps in here are little snots who have had everything handed to you. And like any spoiled brat who has earned little or nothing in their lives, you shit on everything handed to you, take it all for granted, and demand more.

I love how you leftists always view our soldiers as either victims or mass murderers. Few of you even have a clue of what it is like to proudly wear the mantle of soldier.

Reagan had bigger fish to fry, like your friends, Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko, and Gorby.

We are kicking their asses.

You haven't a clue of a damned thing about military.

LOL!!

I think Faux news and Worldnetdaily are the only "news" outlets that think that.

I don't watch or read either of them.

I get my info from the soldiers on the ground who are there or just got back.

Here's another thing, Vegy, that you probably don't know off the top of your head: What is Iraq's economic growth rate, and what is the growth rate of their stock market?

But that's not on Air America or in The Nation. So you're forgiven if you have to Google that one.
