Military and Media mostly Clueless about Suicide Epidemic in the MIlitary

In a characteristically humanist approach, the NPR fails to address what is really a spiritual problem. The Army has an inkling that the problem is a spiritual one. They encourage soldiers to be religious, knowning that somehow the taboos against self-slaughter encouraged by the Catholic Church are beneficial. Unfortunately, the prevailing society, the law, our government are hostile to that spiritual reality. If there's an epidemic of suicide in the military, it's a spiritual problem.
