The number of substance-abusing soldiers has increased by 25% in recent years. The number of suicides also has greatly increased. In 2008 there were 142 suspected suicides, and already in January of 2009 more soldiers had killed themselves than were killed in combat. These statistics are alarming, and may be due to a number of factors: more soldiers have been deployed after shorter periods in recent years, and the long war may also add to troops’ frustration.
