Then find the Army Times report she is referring to and tell me if The Army Times is telling falsehoods about these statistics.

That looks like AFN, they make you watch that overseas. I'm sure its factual, which is depressing to say the least.

Why dont you stick your head in an oven and lower the proportion of veterans to civilians that have committed suicide.
This is very true, in my 5 years in the Marine Corps infantry, we had 3 suicides overseas in Iraq, and 2 suicides in the garrison in the barracks.
This was back in 04-09. From my understanding by communicating with a few Marine friends that decided to stay in. There has been numerous of suicides from my old unit since I've been out.
Very sad to see usual over a stupid ass dilemma she said he said bullshit.
Cannabis saves life true but, go active duty and smoke cannabis, they'll make you wish you committed suicide with that bad conduct discharge you'll be facing
And time in the brig, which really aint that bad.

Well yeah I don't mean for active duty but even then I think if a guy smoked a joint instead of offing himself it would be a good thing. Temporary problems require temporary solutions. I definitely think it is time to smoke a celebration when you have a discharge in your hand. I also think that once a soldier is suicidal they should be medically discharged with out any type of stigmas.This is very true, in my 5 years in the Marine Corps infantry, we had 3 suicides overseas in Iraq, and 2 suicides in the garrison in the barracks.

Cannabis saves life??? Hmm go active duty and smoke cannabis, they'll make you wish you committed suicide with that bad conduct discharge you'll be facing

I'm already baked bro.
I agree with everything you said except the "I definitely think it is time to smoke a celebration when you have a discharge in your hand". Well i kinda agree with that as well since i smoked a few bowls in front of my command post the day i hit my ELS
but only if its a Honorable discharge. I have numerous of friends that get out with Bad Conduct discharges and it really is a bitch to get a job any where after wards. I mean, you volunteer your service (free will) so why not just follow the dam rules.

Maybe there shouldn't be such a stigma on weed either.I agree with everything you said except the "I definitely think it is time to smoke a celebration when you have a discharge in your hand".

All valid points...as a veteran myself im saddened. But feel lucky all the people I know and am friends with have come through ok...about 90%a of them toke
Thats why doing private contracting making 185k a year was the next best thing, no drug tests

Drugs test the single most intrusion on personal freedom...

I agree. It is really only cannabis that gets detected, almost everything else is out of your system too fast to catch most of the time.
