Suicide rates are high in any military personnel.
But the rates are not identical across the different military organizations around the world.
Also, you can check the suicide rate among IDF personnel during any given year, and see that the suicide rate has spiked.
Whelp, that takes care of your minimization attempt.
Do you have data from a military whose purpose wasn’t to enforce the exploitation others?
Dude that seems like a definition you tailored yourself. Could you provide the list because mine will either be exactly the same or wildly different and we’ll never know.
I’ll go first:
Of course I tailored my definition to suit the subject we are talking about, isn’t that a good thing?
People are saying these soldiers may have killed themselves because of a guilty conscience, then someone says it’s common among militaries as if to counter that theory, so I ask if they have an example from a military whose members shouldn’t have a guilty conscience.
And hey, whaddaya know, we have the same list.
