I'm not sure if these figures are sociologically or politically significant or not. I have no figures for the general population or other populations to compare with.
According to one report quoting CBS, approximately 1,000 veteran suicides occur weekly in the USA.
Methodology: Telephone calls to all counties in the USA requesting data on this subject, which is not (apparently) available from the US Government sources. I would very much like to be corrected on the unavailability claim regarding veteran suicide data availability via the US Government. After all, Durkheim died 91 years ago. This should not be asking much from the government that placed a man on the moon!
The Bush administration, which is widely known, also, uses rose colored spectacles to describe its support for Veterans.
