The US Army said 83 soldiers committed suicide last year, more than a quarter of them while deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan.

So maybe 70% were not deployed when doing themselves in? Are they suggesting soldiers deployed are killing themselves at an unusually high rate?

That's what they are implying. But war zone suicide figures are always higher than the overall military average. Stress, seperation and inibility to be there for loved one's at home contribute in spite of all the army does.
