| [IsraelTimes] Most recent suicides among IDF soldiers stemmed from war-related trauma, including prolonged exposure to combat zones, witnessing horrific scenes, and the loss of friends, according to findings from internal military probes published by Kan news. “Most of the suicides resulted from the complex reality created by the war. War has consequences,” a senior military official tells Kan. In response, the military says it is drawing systemic conclusions, improving commander training, and enhancing distress signal detection. Additionally, the number of mental health officers has been increased by 200 for active-duty soldiers and by 600 for reservists. At least 17 soldiers have died by suicide so far in 2025, according to figures published by Haaretz. Officials reportedly fear the phenomenon could grow if the psychological toll is not adequately addressed. |

| #2 Psylocybin from "magic mushrooms", long outlawed inthe USA as a Schedule I illegal drug( no therapeutic use) has shown promising results as a treatment for lethal PTSD. But it's a drug used by hippies, so it's best people go to prison for 20 years for possessing it. We need to keep our prisons full of druggies instead of violent criminals and illegal aliens. |

| #1 the number of mental health officers has been increased by 200 for active-duty soldiers and by 600 for reservists. Perhaps some pre-screening before throwing them into the meat grinder would be appropriate. At least 17 soldiers have died by suicide so far in 2025 In 2022, the most recent year with comprehensive data available, there were 6,407 suicides among veterans in the United States, with an average of 18 veterans dying by suicide each day, 13 of whom used firearms. |
