these numbers speak fact:
more soldiers commit suicide than are killed!
In every conflict to date the Government has failed to provide care for returning soldiers, according to the Mental Health Foundation. More Falklands veterans have committed suicide than were killed during the conflict. One in four homeless people are ex armed services personnel and many of the Gulf War veterans now suffer poor mental health. The Mental Health Foundation believes that many veterans are experiencing problems which are as yet undiagnosed. Veterans from the last Gulf War are still waiting for specialist treatment.
