The study abstract they posted on their site for reference (1) made it even more interesting in showing that their was no social location factor in the high suicide rates as about 150 thousand in the studied time period of the Iraq/Afghanistan war were deployed thereafter or during, and nearly 800 thousand of the suicide victims had never been deployed to those wars..
