A younger relative just killed himself.
He was in the Army, according to everythig we knew, he was doing fine.

He shot himself in the head with a gun.

4. Archae, I am so sorry. Peace to him, and to those who knew and loved him
It seems this is happening way too much. I read recently that more service members have killed themselves in the last decade than have died in battle. Something is desperately wrong.

I am so sorry, Archae.

7. Maybe one reason for his suicide.
He was scheduled for a 3rd tour in Afghanistan.

He hated it there, he told me.

I can't imagine the pain he must have been in. And the pain you and your family are now feeling.
