and for more on this earlier i spoke to jason leopold he's the deputy managing editor of truthout dot org and with an average of eighteen veterans committing suicide each day according to the veterans administration i asked him why we are seeing skyrocketing suicide rates among soldiers here's his take. well first of all that's actually a statistic that has been out there for quite some time it's been somewhat under the radar you know part of the problem here is that soldiers first of all. they the experience that they're having in iraq in afghanistan is traumatic obviously these are multiple deployments multiple deployments. returning to an environment in which they have difficulty adjusting in addition to that there is a stigma that is associated with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury and that stigma has has somewhat halted veterans from seeking the help that they that they need. you know one issue that i have tried to bring up in some of the reporting that i've done is that in the past nine years almost nearly nine years since this war in iraq has been going on

but i'm not the only one earlier i spoke to jason leopold the deputy managing editor for truthout dot org and asked for his opinion i asked him what some of the biggest things that are being ignored right now regarding this here's his take. well the biggest thing that's being ignored is exactly how this bill would apply to u.s. citizens now we've heard from various members of congress carl levin who is the chair of the senate armed services committee who worked on this bill with senator john mccain we've received assurances from various lawmakers that u.s. citizens would not be. affected by this that it would not apply to this however immediately after the bill was passed senator dianne feinstein introduced the legislation referred to it the due process act of two thousand and eleven and what that would do is ensure that this particular bill more or less would not apply to u.s. citizens basically that indefinite detention of u.s. citizens would not happen unless there was an express act of congress and that's what her or her legislation says it's very short and it's proposed at this point
