May is highest number of Marine suicides this year

Take a look at this.
The five suicides in May represent the highest number recorded in any month this year.


Does this have your attention yet? If not then look at this.

Through the end of May, 140 suicides have been recorded this year among active-duty troops in all service branches, according to the Pentagon.


Do you need any more proof that Resiliency Training does not work?

MILITARY: Five Marine suicides reported in May

By MARK WALKER

Five active-duty U.S. Marines took their own lives in May, raising the total for the year to 18.

Eleven other Marines attempted to kill themselves last month, according to the service's suicide prevention program office.

The five suicides in May represent the highest number recorded in any month this year.

The 18 recorded so far in 2012 compares with 30 Marines reported killed in Afghanistan this year.

The deaths come despite widespread outreach and available counseling efforts instituted throughout the Marine Corps.

At least three of this year's suicides have taken place at Camp Pendleton, where 11 Marines took their own lives last year.

The 80 attempted suicides reported so far in 2012 compare with 163 attempts recorded in 2011 and a record 172 in 2010.

Now that you've read this, what do you think the military is going to do about it? Pretty much the same thing they have been doing since the suicides started going up. Repeating the same failed program they've been using but pushing it even more!
