“The number of suicides among U.S. Army active duty and reserve personnel in 2012 is higher than the total combined military fatalities from Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan over the same timeframe. In 2012, there have been a total of 247 suspected suicides among Army active and reserve duty personnel. Of those, 158 have been confirmed as suicides and 89 remain under investigation. An additional 40 military fatalities were the result of ‘non-hostile causes,’ which means they were fatalities not caused by the Taliban, insurgency forces or Afghan forces – so-called ‘green-on-blue’ attacks.”
