How many us soldiers have committed suicide since returning from war?

417,000. Although that is of course a very large number, as a percentage of total US Military in the field it means a Death Rate of no more than 2.5%. Even among the Marines the death rate was 'only' 3.6%. Part of the reason for this is that many soldiers served in support units that rarely came under fire, if at all. The same went for the British, who had a death rate of 5.2%.
Among Russian, German and Japanese soldiers the death rate was between 25 and 30% of troops in the field. One of the reasons for this difference is the style of fighting: Russians always charged head-on, regardless of opposition while US infantry usually got artillery or air support to clean up resistance when it was encountered. Japanese and German troops lost many men because of orders to stand and fight, even in hopeless positions.

∙ 9y agoBy 2009, an Army study concludes the suicide rate of soldiers was over 30 per 100,000. This percentage was for soldiers who had been deployed to Iraqi and Afghanistan. The suicide rate for those who were not deployed during the same time period was between 25 and 30 per 100,000. These numbers kept increasing until 2012.

∙ 11y ago- A VA doctor estimated that 200,000 U.S. soldiers died from suicides and that the numbers of suicides related to media were low because some of the suicides were deemed accidents from self inflicted gunshot wounds to drunk driving accidents and no suicide notes were left behind.

How many gay suicdes since 2000?
It is extremely hard to track gay suicide statistics since many laws dictate restrictions on the reporting and publicising of suicides. Also, many people who commit suicide have an unknown reason. It is impossible to determine the sexual orientation of every single person that committed suicide. It is sad, however, that many homosexuals continue to feel the need to commit suicide when there are many support groups and organisations out there. This is a reflection of society's cruel treatment of this group of people.
