Is it just the US or do other nations have these types of extraordinary suicide rates? This doesn't even include former soldiers/veterans who also commit suicides every day.

~6000 suicides per year among retired soldiers till 2018 and the trend is likely no different in 2019 and 2020. One can decide for themselves, but if you would like to include post deployment suicides for US soldiers, the casualty rates in Iraq & Afghanistan are extremely high.

70% of the retired soldier suicides are over the age of 50. I don't think they have been in Afghanistan recently.

What are the causes of suicide?

US should learn from Indian military. From 170 suicide cases in 2007 to just around 90 now.

War guilt for the rapes, murder and oppression they did during their false wars.

War guilt for the rapes, murder and oppression they did during their false wars.

Not likely. One guy says he attempted suicide because he was late for a meeting at the Pentagon on 9/11 and wasn't there to help pull his friends out of the building wreckage.

There seems to be a trend of feeling you failed your fellow soldier leading to their unnecessary death.

US soldiers committed a lot of attoricities Both in Afganistan and Iraq, much was not covered by the media.

Why such a high rate in the military? India must not be far behind in this war with the self?
