I'll go ahead first. We investigate each individual suicide to better understand what factors are at play, and we find that the majority of people do have mental illness or some mental distress. That is overlaid with what we call an acute trigger, so a stressor like a relationship issue, for example. We know that a mission like Afghanistan, in which there was a lot of psychological trauma, did end up causing a lot of mental illness. We think the mental illness that occurred during the operation is one of the factors behind the increase in rates in army personnel. It was primarily the army personnel who were exposed most to the combat-related stressors.
