UPI is reporting that at least two U.S. soldiers have committed suicide at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center after they returned from Iraq. The Pentagon did not include either of the deaths when they told reporters last week that 22 soldiers had committed suicide in Iraq. The House Armed Services Committee panel is scheduled to hold a hearing today examining health problems facing U.S. troops. Steve Robinson, executive director of the National Gulf War Resource Center said “There appears to be a significant increase in both suicides and post-traumatic stress disorder.”
