New in 2021: Looking for new perspectives on combating suicide
Stephen Losey
 

The Air Force is planning to create a working group on mental health and resiliency this year as part of its longstanding effort to combat suicide in its ranks.

The Air Force has struggled in recent years to stem an alarming increase in deaths by suicide. In 2019, 136 airmen took their own lives, about one-third more than in the previous year.

And preliminary statistics in 2020 were equally concerning. In September, Chief of Staff Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown told reporters that 98 airmen had so far died by suicide in 2020, about as many as had died by that point in 2019.

Stop sending troops into harm's way every time a dictator farts.

I have grave misgivings about our active service and vet's mental health if the socialists fully take control.

I have grave concerns about it now.  It already seems too PC and media driven.
