A study done by Operation Deep Dive took veteran suicide numbers from 8 states across the nation including Montana. The results are extremely shocking.
Military suicide rates are alarmingly high and rising, often attributed to the trauma and stress of serving in post-9/11 wars, head injuries, and the difficulty of returning to civilian life.
The rate of suicide among veterans may be more than double what federal officials report annually because of undercounting related to drug overdose deaths and service record errors, according to a new analysis released Saturday.
