Record US Soldier Suicides in June
----------------------------------



New figures show a record number of US soldiers took their own lives
last month. At least thirty-two soldier suicides were reported in June,
the highest monthly number since record keeping began around the Vietnam
War. Seven of those soldiers killed themselves while serving in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
