Military Suicide

In the month of January, more soldiers committed suicide then were killed in combat. The army said that 128 soldiers committed suicide in 2008. That is 128 too many! I hope that the armed forces will look into new procedures to help care for these soldiers. These men and women have fought for our country and we need to give them as much support as we can. I hope this problem will come to the attention of President Obama and Congress and they will be able to work together to fix this problem. I believe if people are having serious psychological disorders, they should be held back from being deployed. After these soldiers have been helped, they should be allowed to be deployed. I hope that our government and armed forces can work together to save lives.
