from the Washington Post in an article detailing the after-effects of one marine's suicide.

Last year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit accused the VA of “unchecked incompetence” in its provision of adequate mental health screening and care for veterans who are killing themselves at an average rate of 18 per day.

I wonder what the rate of US Forces killing combatants in Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia is.
I suspect it is less than 18/day which means we're probably not allowed to talk about it here on BHO.
