I am a retired 1964-68 USN and 74-94 USCG. The way this country is going especially after the last election, I felt it was all for nothing and don't see anything getting better soon. If the young volunteer service feel as bad as I do, coupled with the dramatic change in the military with out present commander in chief, the out of control spending, higher taxes, food and fuel taken off the inflation index puts a large stress on everyone in the service and their family. Anyone that does not look at that aspect for the increase in suicides needs to take a really closer look. I have a little college but not a graduate and feel that I feel a lot like them in some aspects. After all I think it was this administration that called the military something close to enemy/domestic terrorist more than once and in more ways than one
