Last year alone, more than 330 serving members of the US armed forces committed suicide - more than the 320 killed in Afghanistan and the 150 who fell in Iraq (see wsws.org).

The majority of the suicides are because of unfaithful wives/girlfriends/Dear John letters...because of being deployed. During peace time when units are deployed the very same thing happens. I burned thru multiple marriages during my 12 years of service because I was deployed more than I was at my home base and when the cat is away the mouse will play and I would not tolerate it.
