The chart above shows suicide among veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan between 2001-05. This rate has rose similar to the active duty suicide rate.
More shocking results came from a recent study done by the Department of Veteran Affairs, which was released earlier this year. It is the most extensive study ever conducted on veteran suicide. Researchers collected data from 1999-2010, before they began to analyze the information. Stats from the study show that once every 65 minutes a military veteran commits suicide.
