For the person you cite who supposedly counters the notion that decreasing morale isn't leading to more suicides among our troops to suggest that those who issue such reports are anti-war is the wrong way to look at things. They're pro-troops. They want these people to be OK. There is no agenda behind releasing reports suggesting that soldiers are killing themselves more often. There is no agenda supporting the idea that people celebrate soldiers' suicides because it strengthens an anti-war position. It does not give me pleasure to offer that point-of-view. I am offering reports that have been issued by recognized experts; another study indicates that army suicide rates are the highest they've been in 26 years (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/15/AR2007081502027.html?hpid=topnews) which, not coincidentally, was a short time after some soldiers had returned from Vietnam and were struggling to come to terms with some of the horrors you have seen there. And your response is to cite an op-ed where the writer claims that these studies are part of a concerted effort to increase the opposition to the war? Please. Opposition to the war is high enough already given the unjustness of it, its false foundations, and how little Bush actually cares about the troops except when it's politically expedient.
