Suicide is a problem throughout society, to include the military. I have known several soldiers I served with commit suicide. They all had reasons to live, but let thier despair/frustrations take over for just long enough for an irrevocable desicion.
This sucks for his family, I had a nephew commit suicide five years ago during a messy divorce. His family is still coping with the loss.
