Lisa. If you read a report that says that the rate of death from asprin related complications is four times what was previously thought, would you stop taking it? By real numbers, it may jump from 2 cases to 8 cases. However, if you look at as relative numbers of 2 per 100,000 to 8 per 100,000, the rise is staticially insignificant. Yes, suicide is horrible, but keep these numbers in perspective. BTW. I looked at the CDC report again. The number of Males of all races between 20-24, prime military age is 20.5 per 100,000. That is higher than the Iraqi rate.
