Army to report record number of suicides, January 29, 2009
The U.S. Army will report Thursday the highest level of suicides among its soldiers since it began tracking the rate 28 years ago, CNN has learned.

The Army has long cited personal stress -- including financial, relationship and substance-abuse problems -- as the major reason for suicides, but it is also studying the extent to which deployments to a war zone may play a role.

Ervin and Ana Lupoe, January 27, 2009
An entire family of seven was wiped out today as a laid off medical technician, distraught over losing his job, killed his wife, children, and ultimately himself.
Ervin and Ana Lupoe were released from the Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical Center recently. Ervin told a Los Angeles television station in a fax sent just after he killed his family that it was that loss that drove him to murder and to suicide. Just before sending the fax, Ervin had dialed 911 and told the dispatcher he found his entire family shot to death. Just after sending the fax, he shot himself as well.
To all those people who voted for Bush because of so-called "family values". You done fucked up and now have blood on your hands. Because as many of us know, Bush didn't care about the working family or the armed forces personnel who leave family at home. It was all about him and his buddies. Let's hope the consequences of your foolish decision will sink in.
