Army deploys the mentally ill in order in to meet challenges in Iraq
UPI recently reveled that the U.S. Army has been deploying soldiers that have failed their mental health screenings.

This may account for the extreme suicide rate among soldiers serving in Iraq and those coming home. Soldiers in Iraq or those that have returned home are 66.6% more likely to commit suicide than the average person in the U.S.

A drug develop by the Army to help combat malaria, may be a contributing factor. Eleven veterans that committed suicide were on the drug Lariam. The Army forces soldiers to take the drug in predeployment vaccinations. The FDA warns that Lariam can cause thoughts of suicide, depression, anxiety, paranoia, delusions and psychosis that can occur long after taking the drug.

One in 10 soldiers evacuated from theater operations are mental health casalities.
