Just as battleships were mostly obsolete by the time Pearl Harbor was attacked, with the newer carriers safely stationed out at sea that day, so are the carriers today with satellite-based weapons and long-range anti-ship weapons.

Our Bolshevik-run government continued to firebomb Germany while the real "enemy" in Russia were our "allies." Construction workers, doctors and electrical workers have high suicide rates too. Getting replaced by cheaper immigrants could be a factor there MM, as far as YOU know. That's one, you don't get two on my thread.

(OP) User ID: 75829441 United States 09/25/2019 09:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Military Suicides Reach Highest Rate Since Record-Keeping Began After 9/11 The Army in 2017 saw 114 deaths by suicide, the Navy, 65, and the Marine Corps, 43. Only the Air Force saw a decline in suicide from the previous year. In 2017, it had 63. While suicide remains a rare event among U.S. troops, 325 active-duty members died by suicide in 2018, the highest number since the Defense Department began collecting the data in 2001 and exceeding a record set in 2012. According to a report [link to www.dspo.mil (secure)] released this week by the Defense Suicide Prevention Office, 139 active-duty soldiers, 68 sailors, 60 airmen and 58 Marines died by suicide last year, 40 more service members than the previous year. The Coast Guard, which is in the Department of Homeland Security, does not publish its suicide data and has not provided the information despite multiple requests from Military.com. [link to www.facebook.com (secure)] An unverified list posted online by a Coast Guard veteran who walks to support suicide awareness and prevention said at least four Coast Guard men and women died by suicide in 2018, and at least three so far this year.

(OP) User ID: 75829441 United States 09/28/2019 02:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to taskandpurpose.com (secure)] (less than fiddy) The National Guard's suicide rate has surpassed the entire active-duty force and the reserves, as well as the civilian population. 30.6 people of every 100,000 in the National Guard died by suicide in 2018, the Pentagon's first-ever Annual Suicide Report for 2018 said, compared to 24.8 active-duty service members, and 22.9 reservists. Earlier this year, each active-duty service except the Air Force reported that suicides hit a record high in 2018 — 138 active-duty soldiers died by suicide in 2018, a five-year high for the active-duty Army; 57 active-duty Marines died by suicide, a nine-year high; and 68 active-duty sailors died by suicide, the highest on record. The Air Force was the only branch to see a decrease — 58 active-duty airmen died by suicide in 2018, compared to 63 in 2017. The last decade has also been devastating for veterans; at least 60,000 veterans died by suicide between 2008 and 2017, the VA reported last week — more than the number of service members that died in the Vietnam War.
