Re: VA report: 22 veterans commit suicide each day
22 veterans a day!!! did I just read 22 veterans each day committed suicide in 2010?? Simply unbelieveable
About 22 veterans committed suicide each day in 2010. Previous estimates from the VA put the number at 18.

Tin foil time!
Sounds like someone wants to paint our vets as unstable. They have been vilifying them and treating like shit for years, & unfortunately, I don't see any signs of that situation changing any time soon. I find this unacceptable, but I can't begin to understand how our vets feel about it, though I suspect they are pissed and feeling deeply betrayed, again.

I looked at several other sources and they say the same--do not see how over 8,000 veterans commit suicide per year

I just went thorough Annual Suicide Prevention Classes, and that was no even close to the number we were given. I think 2010, was something like 118 soldiers. So nationwide current and prior vets... I'd venture maybe 250-300 max in 2010. That's a far cry from 8,000... Myself and a few other Vets saw this coming as soon as the mental Health shit got purposed.
