The Iraq wars and the Afghanistan war are taking a huge toll because of suicide. The problem is finding these guys and finding out why.

One thing they just found out is that the drug they were using for malaria, mefloquine, was causing mental problems in 1/3, 1/3, of the users.

The military just switched drugs.

I want to know if this drug stays in the system like LSD.

Suicide and depression can be treated, if you know anyone who needs help, call any of the phone numbers found at all the military branch sites.

So many of the vets at risk are in hiding. We need to find them.

I took the same drug for years in Nigeria. I call Bravo Sierra on the above post.
