Given men's suicides are much higher than women, I'm assuming the women here are catching up to the men but maybe they are passing men up. Maybe someone can wade into the data and look?<br /><br />JPL17's questions are valid - do women "attracted" to military service have characteristics that predispose them to suicide later in life?<br /><br />There's also the fact that men generally pick more successful suicide methods, so perhaps women who get military training choose more masculine ways of ending their lives?<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-5059815379135451032017-09-19T18:06:04.929-07:002017-09-19T18:06:04.929-07:00What a startling statistic!

E.g., what percentage of female veteran suicides are attracted to military service due to pre-existing suicidal tendencies; and what percentage are driven by military experience?JPL17https://www.blogger.com/profile/10649330420822802850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-60849970344710166452017-09-19T15:06:09.782-07:002017-09-19T15:06:09.782-07:00Women outdoing men, here.
