The Air Force lost 38 airmen to suicide in 2008, a rate of 11.5 suicides per 100,000 airmen. The average over the past five years — since the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom — was 11 deaths per 100,000 annually. Of the airmen lost in 2008, 95 percent were men and 89 percent were enlisted. Young enlisted men with a rank of E1 to E4 and between the ages of 21 and 25 have the highest risk of suicide. Recently released data indicates that active duty males carry, for the first time in known history, a suicide risk greater than that of comparable males in the general population (Psychotherapy Brown Bag, 2009). This is particularly noteworthy considering that the military entrance process screens out serious mental illness prior to entry onto active duty, and that the rate of suicide in military males has historically been significantly lower than comparable civilian populations. To help

A very important group within the American population has been Since 2009, suicide rates among those on active-duty status have stabilized at approximately 18 per 100 000.

"Okay yes, it dose take me a while to heal. I don't know why though" He finally whimpers after a few moments.

Smooth, thin, and cold, the sharp object lying in her hands trembled due to her petite quivering fingers. The unforgiving sharp blade effortlessly sliced through her skin, pain and then numbness overshadowed her thoughts. With the world weighing down on her shoulders and with the sense of oppression, the girl carved into her arm without a feeling of regret. Daring, she placed the knife parallel to her veins located under her thin pasty skin. Finally, with resolution, digging the knife into her small arm, the young tortured girl could feel the deadly weapon tearing and mutilating her long tender veins. Gasping for breath, the pain surged throughout her body. However, with agony coursing through her body, the victim would not stop her leisurely stroll to the grave.

Psychologist, Dr. Todd B. Kashdan of George Mason University states, “In general, people do not commit suicide because they are in pain, they commit suicide because they do not believe there is a reason to live and the world will be better off without them” (par 6). Hopelessness is negative attitudes and expectations about the future and can lead to someone feeling death is the only solution to his or her problem. Feeling hopeless does not mean Marines are weak, malingering, or avoiding responsibility; rather, it means Marines need help for their injury similar to physical injuries. Understanding this dilemma is vital for leaders in the Marine Corps to combat suicides and suicide attempts because it allows leaders to adjust their approach to each situation differently. Once leaders have a true understanding of the cause of suicide and suicide attempts, they are able to adjust their leadership styles too effectively handle Marines dealing with

The terminally ill patient should not be blamed and criminalized for allowing physicians to take their own lives. This also holds true for the severely disable who also may wish to end their life to their disability and life style.

Journal 3 The activity we received was a case study, I was expecting it to not be that descriptive. However, it helped me to understand how to apply the information from chapter nine to a client's suicide story. I'm looking forward to more case studies, this one was a little time consuming, because I was not exactly confident with how to ask the questions. The chapter nine lecture made me feel more confident when it came to knowing what to ask a client who is suicidal. I feel that this improved my weakness when dealing with clients who have these thoughts. It is a sensitive topic for many people to discuss that is why I have never received sufficient information. I did not know that the percentage of people who have thoughts of hurting themselves was that high. The lecture made me exposed to a topic I did not know about it made me feel aware that these feelings are not uncommon. If I ever have a friend who has these ideas it will help me be supportive or point them in the right direction if they need help.

Suicide in the Trenches War, a slaughter of men that has gone on for hundreds & thousands of years. One of the most gruesome wars was WW1 which lasted for 4 years, 28 Jul. 1914 – 11 Nov. 1918. In this devastating war, the total number of casualties includes about 11 million military personnel and about 7 million civilians. Many of those soldiers were young men. The poem “Suicide in the trenches” written by Siegfried Sassoon tells what the harsh trenches had being like and how many soldiers became depressed. Sassoon was an officer who earned a military cross after carrying a wounded solider through enemy’s crossfire. He fought in many battles till 1917 where he would then have to leave the war due to Shellshock. Sassoon criticized the political leaders who sent young men off to die in huge battles that seemed pointless and while Sassoon was in Hospital he opposed the war by writing many poems including “Does it Matter”, “The Hero’ and arguably the most tragic poem, “Suicide in the Trenches”.
