Thanks. I'll watch it tonite. Can't watch vids at work. I read thru the Rockwell article quickly. It was a sad state of affairs that it appears the white house/pentagon tried to hide these numbers. It was thru the efforts of "liberal" vet groups (as JK wants to call them) that this news has become public.

It's sad enough when our govt lies to us about supposed success in Iraq. These suicide numbers show how much greater the cost of this war is then the govt is letting on. It makes one wonder what other information they are hiding.

>Untreated Casualties: The Military's Suicide Epidemic; Viewfinder: A Student's Eclectic Visions
>Episode Number: 614
>Synopsis: This week, correspondent Greg Dobbs presents a powerful and disturbing report about the suicide epidemic in the U.S. military. It has become a terrible trend -- suicides up some 20% last year; since the Iraq war began, a six-fold increase in suicide attempts. Experts say that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a major cause, and that soldiers in crisis aren't getting the help that they need from the military or the VA. Dobbs talks to two soldiers who attempted suicide, and the family of a marine reservist who took his own life. They say he was denied treatment for what was obviously PTSD. The Pentagon argues that PTSD isn't even a major factor in the rising suicide rates. These men and women are the 'untreated casualties' of war. On a lighter note, we visit with an extraordinary young man named Ross Ching, who is making beautiful films, in his spare time between classes. It's a World Report 'Viewfinder.'
