Coverage of the violence in New Orleans & Las Vegas by members of the military isn't getting at the underlying drivers of this pain. Hurt people hurt people — including themselves. There are connections between suicide, radicalization & the 1/6 Capitol attack.
I explore all of this in the latest audio journal entry of Invisible Threads, a reading of my column, Violence against Americans by members of the military is a wakeup. The piece involves suicide, so please be mindful of that.
If you or someone you know needs help, visit 988lifeline.org or call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988. For current or former military service members, please call 988 and press 1.
