120 Vets die each week due to suicide. This is not an error or misprint. A study by CBS showed that in 2005 , and this is just in 45 states -- there were at least 6,256 veteran suicides, 120 every week for a year and an average of 17 every day.

Figuring these deaths into the US Forces casualties puts the total deaths to no less than 15,000. Than add on 1,000,000 civilian casualties and you've got to say HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE!
Similarly I found studies for the Israeli Defense Force(IDF) which showed they also have a high rate of suicide.

I think these facts speak for themselves, the acts of occupation are so unconscionable that it has led so many to take their own lives.
War is DISEASE. Brotherhood of Man is the reality we must all strive for. The actions of our government are a disastrous wound upon the earth and all of it's inhabitants. It's time to live according to our monetary motto
"IN GOD WE TRUST"
