    "The primary reasons for suicides, when we examine the completed suicide, is failed intimate relationships, failed marriages," said Col. Elspeth Ritchie, a psychiatrist and consultant to the Army Surgeon General.

    Brilliant analysis Elspeth.

    Can't think of any other reason.

    I also hear that, in addition to the 100 or so actual suicides (the number seems to vary) nearly a thousand have tried and failed. Most do it, however, after they come back home.
