Why: Many of us come home from war, never actually come home. We are still fighting a war in our heads. We trade the feelings of happiness and peace from our loved ones for anger and hate for strangers. We travel to foreign lands to fight because of what our government tells us. Whether or not they are telling the truth will come out in 50 years when it’s irrelevant and most of us are gone. 22 Veterans A DAY commit suicide. That’s just a number of deaths that are reported. I believe it’s more than that.
