We can continue the process of educating our troops' peers so that they know when people are displaying signs: they're withdrawn; there have been character changes. If your peers are watching you, if the chain of command is watching you, and they are sensitive to the symptoms that at least can be acknowledged as potential signs that you are in trouble, and you get the care you require, we can start to reduce some of the suicides we're presently having. You can never reduce them entirely, because some suicides just happen. No matter what you do, no matter what you have in place, they will take place.
