Suicide rate for veterans and sevicemen

The number of veterans who have died from suicide after the Falklands War is greater than the number of servicemen killed during the conflict.

Returning U.S and British soldiers from Iraq have high suicide rate





Troops used as guinea pigs in 1950s, and60s, testing protective clothing for radiation after nuclear weapons testing.

Found a great resource for official reports and papers, covering arts, sciences and humanities, at 'Intute'. A selection of military publications and external sites offer a wide variety of resource information and governmental papers and inquiries, including this pdf by the National Audit Office on military recruitment and retention, with statistics on why people left the army etc.
