MORE SOLDIERS COMMITTED SUICIDE THAN WERE KILLED. Must continue gradual withdrawal of troops as we train Afgn troops like we are doing in Iraq. 
To rush would cause TREMENDOUS TRAGEDY, WAR AND TOTAL COLLAPSE OF WORLD ECONOMY…. 
We need a steady that continues gradual progess, AS THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS WANT……..
 “If you… know the one thing that causes people to commit suicide, please let us know,”
General Peter Chiarelli told the Army Times, “because we don’t know.”
Suicide is a tragic but predictable human reaction to being asked to kill – and watch your friends be killed – particularly when it’s for a war based on lies. Perhaps being required to bag the mangled flesh of fellow soldiers could be another reason that some are committing suicide.

Body Bagging… ever heard the term? Marines in the Corps’s Mortuary Affairs unit at Camp Al Taqaddum, Iraq, are assigned the job of collecting and cataloging the bodies of dead Marines. They sift through the remains and effects, from prom photos to suicide notes and love letters, and put them into a bag, then into a metal box and then into a refrigerator to await the flight home. One soldier, Jess Goodell, recounts a Marine brought into the unit still breathing. She frantically called to her superiors, who replied simply, “Wait.” She watched while he died. When she returned to the US, Goodell, like many others, was diagnosed with deep depression, substance abuse, PTSD and anxiety.

Stage 8: Maturity

Age: Late Adulthood — 65 years to death

Conflict: Integrity vs. Despair

Important Event: Reflection on
and acceptance of one’s life

Description:

The most important event at this stage is coming to accept one’s whole lifeand reflecting on that life in a positive manner. According to Erikson,achieving a sense of integrity means fully accepting oneself and coming to termswith the death. Accepting responsibility for your life and being able to undothe past and achieve satisfaction with self is essential. The inability to dothis results in a feeling of despair.

Elements for a positive outcome:

The adult feels a sense of fulfillment about life and accepts death as anunavoidable reality.

Elements for a negative outcome:

Individuals who are unable to obtain a feeling of fulfillment andcompleteness will despair and fear death.

Examples:

An aged person may find it necessary to reflect and analyze what they haveaccumulated throughout life and decide what offspring will receive from themupon death.
