The Perils of Suicide

A chaplain stationed in Iraq writes informally that six of the soldiers in his general area have taken their own lives recently, which is obviously six far too many.  No real conclusions as to why, but some soul-searching (no pun intended) as to how suicide has become "instant gratification" with a weapon when situations are beyond what we can handle.  No matter the reason or the circumstances, what a shame for those people and their families.
