Army: Up to 18 Soldier Suicides in February
-------------------------------------------



In military news, the Army says soldier suicides continue to follow a
record trend. Up to eighteen soldiers took their lives last month.
That’s down from the twenty-four soldiers who took their lives in
January, but still in line with the most number of suicides since
record-keeping began. As many as 143 soldiers reportedly took their own
lives last year.
