The VA published this year’s\u00a0suicide data for veterans.\u00a0 \u00a0According to their raw numbers, there were 16.6 veterans a day who committed\u00a0suicide.\u00a0 \u00a0If we deduct veterans suffering in pain from some terminal illness who decided not to end their life in a puddle of their own piss…that number gets dramatically\u00a0reduced.<\/p>\n

Feel free to read the study yourself HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n

The WSJ published an article about it.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIf any other population of 20 million people were exposed to these threats it would be considered a public health priority,\u201d said Paul Rieckhoff, CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, which has many younger veterans as members. \u201cThere has never been a national call to action.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Quoting Paul Rieckhoff on a veteran issue is like quoting Mikey Weinstein on veteran issues.\u00a0 They both have self-serving interests that promote the stereotypical\u00a0image that veterans are victims of their service to this nation.<\/p>\n

IAVA and Paul Rieckhoff continue to have problems with integrity.<\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Any veteran group that associates\u00a0with a Valor Whore like Megan Morse, or whatever name she is going by these days, has no creditability with me whatsoever.\u00a0 Paulie leans so far left he wouldn’t understand an objective opinion if it were spoon fed to him.\u00a0 \u00a0Just look at some of the IAVA events and see who is attending.\u00a0 Steven Colbert is the keynote speaker at one of Paulie’s upcoming\u00a0events.\u00a0 Colbert defines what being Libtarded is all about and is not admired by the vast majority of veterans.\u00a0 \u00a0Paulie is pimping him out anyway.\u00a0 But I digress… let me get back to those that canceled their birthday.<\/p>\n

In 2016, 58.1 percent of Veteran suicides were among Veterans age 55 and older.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So about 7 veterans who are too young for AARP choose self-murder on a daily basis.\u00a0 \u00a0 What does the CDC have to say about suicide rates in the general population?<\/p>\n

The principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) warned on Wednesday that suicide is on the rise in the U.S. among almost every age group.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuicide \u2013 in all ages except for young children and the elderly \u2013 is one of the few conditions that\u2019s getting worse instead of better around the country,\u201d Anne Schuchat told \u201cRising\u201d Hill.TV co-hosts Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton.<\/p>\n

Suicide is a leading cause of death in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Nearly 45,000 Americans have lost their lives to suicide in 2016, and suicide rates have spiked more than 30 percent in half of states across the country since 1999, according to the CDC.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wait…What?\u00a0 Suicide in the general population has spiked 30 percent?\u00a0 The article on the CDC results is HERE.<\/a>\u00a0 But, but, but, I thought to serve this country in the military resulted in…victim related stuff.<\/p>\n

Look, I do not want to make light of those who are in legit pain and struggle with emotional dysfunctions.\u00a0 There are over 45,000 veteran-related\u00a0charities in this country.\u00a0 All this do-gooder charitable work really sucks at preventing people, who are victims of protecting this nation, from wanting to self-murder.\u00a0 I have told people for years to stop giving money to these groups.\u00a0 Let veterans take care of veterans.\u00a0 When I hear someone pimping the “22 A Day” thing,\u00a0 all I see is a huckster or an idiot.<\/p>\n
