" In
my novel, "Off Switch," which addresses both P.T.S.D. among soldiers
and veterans and the pandemic suicide rate that is FINALLY getting more
attention in the media, I address two issues in particular which are
leading to the staggering rate of suicide among our heroes, currently
reported as 22 each day, though those numbers would be much higher if
the D.O.D. actually included the Army
Reservists and National Guardsmen who commit suicide in their count as
well. These two main culprits I address are severe substance abuse
(mismanagement of medication the VA and Army hospitals call it) and
toxic leadership.
