Army Suicides at Record High
----------------------------



Back in the United States, suicides amongst US troops have increased to
a three-decade high. Pentagon officials say at least 128 soldiers took
their own lives last year. The final tally could be higher, as more than
a dozen other deaths are still under investigation. It’s the highest
total since record keeping began in 1980.
