SERVICE MEMBER SUICIDES KEEP RISING

The Military Times released a Report on 2023 suicide statistics released by the Pentagon. It states: “Military researchers recorded 523 suicides in 2023, the highest total since 2020. The number of active-duty troops was 363, up from 331 a year earlier. . . .The Marine Corps had the highest rate of suicide, with about 35 cases per 100,000 people in 2023. The Army was just under 33 cases per 100,000. . . . The Air Force (about 21 per 100,000) and Navy (about 19 per 100,000) saw lower rates. But all four services have seen a steady increase since 2011, when the Department began formally tracking the issue. ”

According to Air & Space Forces Magazine, “the Active-duty component saw a 12 percent increase from 331 deaths by suicide in 2022 to 363 in 2023.”

The Grey Team draws a stark comparison: “As suicide rates among returning US military veterans continue to rise, the statistics now show that it is now six times more dangerous for an American soldier to return home from war than it is for him/her to actively be engaged in combat with the enemies of our country.”

What the VA can learn from the National Park Service

If rangers in the National Park Service were experiencing among their wildlife populations the equivalent of what DoD and the VA call “the suicide epidemic”, they would not ignore immediately available solutions. They would move heaven and earth to understand the crisis, and find antidotes or vaccines, or any treatments that would save the wildlife. Yet the culture in the VA – their “arrogance of ignorance” – prevents Veterans and their caregivers from knowing about or receiving immediate help available with HBOT and other alternative therapies.
