this has been 'a developing epidemic' since the last 90s, and in all developed nations, and not just the States. Record suicide numbers each year starting in 1999, and i believe 2013 was the last time 'we' really discussed it.
however, if you can't get a militaristic patriotic nation to concern itself with veteran suicides, somehow the general suicide rate will be different?

Most of this increase is a direct result of the bad economy.
Much of Sanders and Trump's support comes from people who's jobs have already been off shored or are likely to be off shored. Trump and Sanders are also speaking out on the dire need for better healthcare and services for veterans.
Of course, the slugs in Washington couldn't care less about any of the people whom Sanders and Trump are reaching out to, but the slugs are clearly afraid of Trump and Sanders.
Sadly, if neither Trump nor Sanders is elected in November those suicide numbers are likely to explode
