One a Day

Originally I was intending to post one article a day, that was until I found out that every time I put up an article a U.S. soldier commits suicide... 

When I first heard it, I refused to believe it. But nevertheless the fact remains, every day one active U.S. soldier commits suicide. Fifty percent more of soldiers are dying by taking their own lives than are dying in combat in Afghanistan, according to the Pentagon. Studies attribute the increased suicidal rate to combat exposure, post-traumatic stress and misuse of prescription drugs.

I've never been in combat or even in a tough situation. It makes me wonder what kind of struggles these individuals go through every day to make them resort to suicide. It also makes me wonder how I can help and prevent them.
