I've got a pretty good job and my health care still costs hundreds of dollars for routine visits. There's polling indicating most people like their health care while also disliking the overall system. I wonder how much of that liking of health care comes from people comparing having anything versus the very real possibility of having little or nothing. People tend to think in terms of comparison to what's right next to them.

Healthcare should not be a for-profit industry. It should be treated like national defense. An onerous but necessary function for the well being of the country.

I work with most of the programs mentioned in the parent article and It's a plain old injection attack, one of the easier things to mitigate if you're aware of the risk. But security is the last thing anyone worries about, so as the technology becomes more accessible there are going to be some hilariously bad implementations that are vulnerable to things like this.

How many of those suicides are actually disguised cover-up murders?

I don't know, but with their operational tempo being what it has been for the last 18 years, I'm surprised the number is not higher. Though they generally do a decent job of weeding out the psychopaths (save for the SEALs, apparently), no one is immune to PTSD. It's a loving shame.

I read a paper somewhere that hypothesized it being such a small tightly knit community and high barrier of entry results in lower suicide rates than one would expect for personnel who are exposed so frequently to high stress situations. no idea if that's true but someone here probably knows more than I

IRBMs will still travel across multiple continents so they're far from tactical. Depending on where they launch from within Russia the IRBM range basically covers the entire hemisphere except for southern Africa and Australia.

Suicide isn't *really* an individual psychological issue, it's a societal-based phenomenon. But that requires that society accept the blame, and we can't have that. Modern suicide theory, aka Interpersonal Theory of Suicide, has three core tenants of what leads and individual to commit suicide: thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and acquired capability. The first two are entirely a societal issue. Belongingness is that psychosocial aspect that a lot of us miss about the military, and indeed being in the military often fills that need better than almost everything available. Sure, you could get that same feeling by having a good job, comfortable finances, a loving spouse, and meaningful purpose. How many of us have that in the outside world? Yeah, thought so. But the military checks off those boxes in our grey matter a lot easier. Burdensomness is a non-factor in the military. Everyone has a purpose, even if you're loving awful at your job you won't dip down into the level of burdensomness to consider suicide. If you're in a good environment, this won't factor into things. Acquired capability is the big one in the military. If you get desensitized enough then the threshold for the other two factors to become an issue gets lower. Unfortunately there's nothing that can be done about this one, and it's why the first two become more important. The SF community is exactly that, a community. It goes far beyond the regular military community in every aspect of their lives. So for a SF community member to kill themselves that means that either they're so desensitized that it doesn't matter, or something external to that community is damaging the sense of community/sense of self. tldr; according to modern suicide theory SF people should have drastically lower rates of suicide so this spike is a colossal red flag
