Suppose one military veteran was killed by a suicide bomber every 65 minutes? The President and the Military Industrial Complex would be enraged--and spend millions to create new surveillance and weapons to end the "horror."
This is as horrible. As the article says:
Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, a nonprofit advocacy group representing more than 200,000 members, said the nation should be "outraged" by rate of veterans who are taking their own lives — nearly one per hour.
"The country should be outraged that we are allowing this tragedy to continue The trends are headed in the wrong direction,” Rieckhoff added.
