Number of military suicides dropped 15 percent last year.
I suspect the drop will continue as troops come home from AFG. I have sat in crowded Morale and Welfare [MWR] tents where hearing the phone or SKYPE conversation of young soldiers in the next booth could not be avoided. Without going into sad details, family separation takes a heavy toll. The availability of instant communication definitely has it's downside.
