The ones who send the soldiers to War will never go through this or understand this pain. United States military veteran suicide is ongoing - regarding the high rate of suicide among U.S. military veterans in comparison to the general civilian public.
What does 22 mean in the military?
“Every day in the United States, 22 veterans succumb to suicide — losing their personal battle to invisible wounds of war.” 
A majority of U.S. veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan believe those conflicts were “not worth fighting,” indicating significant disagreement with the decision to go to war, with views often consistent across ranks and combat experience.

In March 1968, U.S. soldiers entered the villages of Sơn Mỹ in Vietnam—an operation that became known as the My Lai massacre. Over the course of the morning, hundreds of unarmed civilians were killed, including women, children, and elderly people. Homes were burned, people were rounded up, and the killing continued even as some soldiers realized civilians were being targeted. The event was later covered up in official reports before journalists and whistleblowers helped bring the truth to the public.

Varnado Simpson, a soldier who participated, later spoke on camera about what happened and what it did to him afterward. He described being haunted by the memories, struggling with guilt, mental health, and substance use, loss of his son and feeling like he couldn’t escape what he’d done. In interviews, he said the images stayed with him, and that he carried a heavy sense of remorse for years. He ultimately died by suicide in 1997.
