Suicide amongst military men and their families is devastating. When our men go to war, it is very difficult for them to kill people and see people killed day after day. To make matters worse, it is even more devastating to see women and children killed from the bombings. They live with this day after day seeing so many lives being taken, including their buddies.
After the men and women come home they have a big adjustment to make with their families. Many of the men and women re-live their experiences, that is, they can never forget the many lives that were taken
It is difficult for the families, especially if the person is badly injured. The wife then must be the caregiver for her husband as well as taking care of the children. Off times this leads to suicide, sometimes the husband feels he is too much of a burden to his family, and he ends his life.
Suicide is high amongst men and women who served in the armed forces. Our government needs to do more to help these families.
I think when our men and women come home form the war, they should be seen a doctor and examined thoroughly. If necessary they should be evaluated by a physchiatrist, and given whatever medical treatment is necessary.
Some men and women come back with limbs and this is not only hard on them but on their families. Also, some men come back and they find out that their wives cheated on tem and they have no place to go. They are left homeless, have no place to go and no one to help them, they feel they have nothing to live for, so they end up killing themselves and sometimes their families.
I think we need organization to help these men and women to find jobs, so they can take care of themselves and their families. By them being able to work would make them feel they were contributing to society, for the men and women who are disabled, I think it would be a good idea to have an organization set up where they could adopt a dog or cat. To have a pet to love, makes one never feel unloved.
