Suicide rate nearly doubles among GI's in Iraq from 2004 to 2005.

Just saw it on CNN. 14 in 2004, 26 in 2005. Are they suiciding our people because they disagree with policy? What the fuck is going on here? I remember the front line threat when I acted up and you know I acted up when I was in....LOL.

4. If anyone has connections-are they still giving Lariam?
there was a rash of homicides/suicides that was attributed to lariam-the anti-malarial treatment they were giving these soldiers.supposedly they were going to quit using it-but we haven't heard any more about it.
