yeah, I'm here at Campbell. I'm not buying the ‘101st has deployed so much’ line. 40% were done by soldiers who have not deployed or a family member of a soldier who's not been deployed.

Also, it must be taken into consideration that as liberal parents and teachers have vilified our military and the war, it has deprived our armed forces, particularly the army, of some bright young people who are naive enough to believe these liberal whack jobs. I don't have a problem with allowing a guy who has screwed up in the past in the army, but, reality check, guys with criminal records tend to come from broken homes, and those raised in broken homes have higher rates of suicides then those from an intact family, even if the family is a liberal one.

I read an article on army.mil/news where 35% of the suicides Army wide was by someone who was never deployed.

I am familiar with Ft Bliss, and the suicides (and threats of suicide)there are mostly those that have not deployed and family members as you said is the case at Ft. Campbell. At Bliss it is often soldiers still living in barracks and the last few have been still in training not deployment time yet. A couple of attempts or threats have been soldiers with deployment orders, but few are those that have already deployed.
