Iraqi security sources have revealed that 21 US troops had committed suicide inside a former Iraqi air force base 27 days ago, Fars News Agency reported on Monday.

According to the sources, the 21 troops were treated in a hospital but only five soldiers have survived and they are in a critical condition. Security officials said they used potent narcotics to kill themselves.

The troops' motivations for suicide are not known but according to Iraqi sources the servicemen belonged to a unit of the US Airborne Division that was behind the massacre of several Iraqi families-- mostly women and children-- in northern Baghdad, said Ali al-Baghdadi an Iraqi security official.



The suicides took place in the soldiers' dormitory after the dinner time.
"The bodies of the US troops became misshapen such a way that they looked like 5000-year mummies," said a witness.

According to Iraqi officials' estimates, some 600 US troops, including senior officers, have committed suicide in Iraq since the invasion of the country in 2003. Half of the suicide attempts have been successful.

Hello,

For my own part, I'm impressed that Piratenews was able to tailor his imagery to his argument. Usually he posts images of happy psychopathic troops grinning over the corpses of their enemies.

But he went a different way here, showing troops who were sad to see wounded innocents.

It shows growth, and it's a positive thing.

Good on ya, Piratenews.

It's not beyond the pale to see such things happen, although I'd like an admission (which I doubt we'd get, even if the incident is as-reported) from the army confirming it.

War is hard on people, especially folks who've been stop-lossed so many times they've damn near forgotten there's anything else.

You do know, we're gonna lose a LOT of em when they come back and fail to make the adjustment, we always do.

That's why smart people avoid having a war unless there is no alternative.
