When the killing machine meets the enemy in a self-referential way the
outcome is as predicted.
The desire to Kill, or Be Killed seems intrinsic to joining the Amerikan
Death Team, a.k.a the Armed Forces.
The death rate due to suicide among all US persons aged 25-34 years is
about 12 per 100,000.
The death rate among Army personnel is about 24 per 100,000, about
double, and is increasing.

Presently it's one suicide every 27 hours.

One could argue successfully that if you join the Army in the first place,
there is a high probability that you are some kind of Nucking Fut-job.
I would say it's an absolute guarantee, but that is a subjective
assessment based
upon my personal impression.
