3. Important story.
I'm just happy that it is making headlines. This is serious as hell.

Thank you for taking the time to post this.

5. I knew it was an ongoing problem but I had no idea it's almost 1 a day.
I mean it's tragic enough when one of our guys dies in Iraq but to come home and do it to themselves? I can't even imagine how those poor families can deal with that. Damn.
