Military suicides: the enemy within

Editor's Note: Listen to the full story in our player above, and join the conversation in our comments section below.
(CNN) – Lazzaric Caldwell almost joined the dark group of military troops who kill themselves.
These are his thoughts just before he cut his wrists in his barracks a couple of years ago:
[:03] "I started to think, what would happen when I’m out of the Marine Corps? With having PTSD, the first thing that popped into my mind was, not to be funny, but one of the Vietnam vets who’s lost his marbles, and is on the side of the road with that sign. I was crying on the phone, telling my Dad that I was sorry for everything that was about to happen.". . . .

 This is why we need to do more for our returning veterans!!! This is why, before we send troops any where, it must be after every attempt at diplomacy has failed and after sanctions have failed. Rushing into war is not the answer.

There was another story that I was going to reference, but I can not find--the bottom line is If Yoga helps to relieve stress--Then Why Not??? After all, the worst thing that can be done, is nothing. Neither the Human Mind nor Body was build to live in a state of extreme stress. With the suicide rate as high as it is, something must be done to help our troops cope, before they take their own lives, which we can not nor should not just stand by and watch.

I Say Thank God That There Are Some Good People Who Have Stepped Up To The Plate And Are Helping!!!!!
