I spent 22 years in the United States army and the issues of war and use of force weigh very, very heavily on me. One of the most depressing statistics from the War on Terror is that We had about 7,000 Americans that died on the battlefield during the War on Terror. But during that same 20 year period of time we had 30,000 post 9, 11 veterans who died to suicide. So they survived their service on the battlefield to come home and tragically lose the fight to suicide. (29:29–29:40)
