    This is a very good movie. It shows a side of war that very few see. It did make me wonder about something though. I recent months the suicide rate among American soldiers has sky rocketed over in Iraq. I believe there have been over 150 suicides since January. I wonder if these soldiers are sent back home in the same way as those that were killed in action?

    you would be wrong. nexus search produce zero results for this statement.

    i am guessing that you wrote that down and then you read it and you believe everything you read.

    This story is from January. Since then the situation has worsened.

    WASHINGTON (CNN) -- One week after the U.S. Army announced record suicide rates among its soldiers last year, the service is worried about a spike in possible suicides in the new year.

    If reports of suicides are confirmed, more soldiers will have taken their lives in January than died in combat.

    The Army said 24 soldiers are believed to have committed suicide in January alone -- six times as many as killed themselves in January 2008, according to statistics released Thursday.
    The Army said it already has confirmed seven suicides, with 17 additional cases pending that it believes investigators will confirm as suicides for January.
    If those prove true, more soldiers will have killed themselves than died in combat last month. According to Pentagon statistics, there were 16 U.S. combat deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq in January.
    "This is terrifying," an Army official said. "We do not know what is going on."
