One of my buddies were telling me all about this. When he was in Afghanistan, there’d be people going through their garbage trying to find envelopes or letters with names and addresses on them. Lots of times they’d use scopes or spotting scopes to look into the base just to look at name tags and faces, then since everyone and their mother has Facebook or something, they’d search on Google. He also told me about soldiers having to go home because their wives or family called them because someone with a strong accent called them asking about the soldier and/or threatening them. It’s a fucked up world we all live in, and this is one of the reasons soldiers get such a great respect from me. > [@Vovchandr"](#): > > If I recall from the article it was his friend with PTSD that shot him wasn’t it? > > How common is suicide or ex soldiers just snapping with PTSD? Suicide killed more soldiers this year than insurgents did. 325 suicides among active and non-active _Army_ alone, and 313 killed in combat throughout the _entire_ military. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/chris-kyle-killed-at-shooting-range/266167)._
