US soldiers commit suicide more than other Americans( BBC news agency)
A new study in US indicated that soldiers suicide twice more than others. Scholars studied data related to 320,890 men served in US army during 1917-1994. Apparently white, educated and elders were more at risk or those who suffered physical or sentimental disabilities. They believe the consequences justify the necessity of psychological care for those soldiers served in Iraq and Afghanistan. The consequences of the research published in a magazine “epidemiology and Social Sanitation” included men who served US during WWII, Vietnam war , Korean War and Persian gulf War. It was said that the suicide rate among those who served in army doubled than those had not served at all. The veterans used arms to suicide doubled than others. It also showed that veterans with added weight committed less than others. Although the research did not included the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan but researchers said that the results may point to them, too.
Analysis
Maybe this is not the first time we hear such news or results. I, myself, some years ago heard and read in news papers that those American pilots of Jet fighters who bombarded Hiroshima and Nagasaki, somehow, drove mad. Attending war with no being wounded or injured affect every one that has seen the violent scenes of those who have been killed or with some of member cut off. American soldiers who returned home from Vietnam War not welcome so good. Many of these soldiers later attended some terrorist operations like Timothy Mc Veigh, Terry Nichols who attended Persian Gulf War in 1992. Mc Veigh and Nichols cooperated in bombing Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City where 168 were killed. They did because of Dravidians in Waco, Texas who were captured and killed by FBI attack on 1992. Mc Veigh was said to use Methamphetamine that according to physicians affects on brain in way person suffers hallucination and paranoia.
Fighting needs motive. Although American soldiers are being encouraged before going war but lack of conscious about the final target leads them to nihilism and nonsense. A veteran after years will think on the target he has gone war and if he could not find a good answer for his question would see his life in vain. Once a psychologist talked about old men when they reached seventy. He said “they look on their life a careful look to see if they had been successful or not, they look on their career, their children, their ambitions, if they have been successful through heir their life , it would be effective to continue their life and it may affect on the longitude of their life.” A soldier should feel that he has been effective and useful for his country. If he does, he would be proud of himself.
The sense of being useful is one of humanitarian beliefs. As a person thinks on his harm for society, so he can not respect himself and the one who does no respect himself, can not respect others.
As another important factor, what makes difference between US soldiers and Iranian soldiers, as Baseej or in army, is that Iranians mixed religion and patriotism and made a strong mixture by which they got more power. Patriotism by itself can not make sense of sainthood. An American soldier is on the edge of suspicion, On the one hand he is said to be right to attack on enemy as dangerous terrorist but on the other hand, he witnesses how many innocent people are killed. The conscious awakes him but the function says something else. So what is the best way to avoid commander’s order?
Today if it is said US soldiers tolerate burdens of the Iraq war more than others, it would not be so bluff. He should carry the burdens of defeat in American society, the psychological and physical damages he would bring with himself to his family. The researchers suggest that military official should be aware of the results of war on US soldiers to avoid what happened to previous veterans, but Iranians say “There is no solution for what you, yourselves, have done”.
