20% Of All Suicides In US Are Ex-Service Members

That's one every 80 minutes.Didn't believe it myself at first but the source has no reason to lie.

“The current statistics are disturbing and point to an even greater need to wage an all out battle to end suicide,” Campos stated. “What is required is a sustained national commitment at all levels of government to help veterans cope with the psychological and traumatic conditions that threaten their well-being and that of their families.
“Eighteen veterans commit suicide every day,” Campos continued. “That is one every 80 minutes. Twenty percent of all suicides in the U.S. are former service members.”
