Sad to see that some think it's funny when US troops commit suicides. Did you know that amount of soldiers who committed suicide in Afghanistan is 50% higher than casualties during fights with Taliban? My buddy, his name was Jack, killed himself after weeks of deep depression caused by the Command. They ordered to kill Taliban militants and then soldiers who risked their lives became scapegoats for supposedly killing civilians, or sometimes big shots have negotiations with Taliban and prohibit return fire and respond to Taliban provocations. And drugs, guarding opium fields can drive everyone crazy because our troops came to Afghanistan with a mission to bring peace and democracy, but they forced to do nasty things... and tempers get frayed... Troops see their country betrayed them and the only thing they can do in action area is put a bullet in the head...
