Abstract
The U.S. military suffered more casualties from suicide than from combat last year. A staggering 349 service members took their own lives in 2012 according to a Pentagon report on activeduty suicides. These numbers, when compared to 229 troops killed in combat over the same period from the Washington Post's tally, compelled U.S. Navy Lt. Darryl Diptee to seek out the underlying causes of military suicides and, ultimately, to develop a solution of his own to assist in combating the problem.
