In 2010, 468 US troops committed suicide which surpassed the 462 US troops that were killed in combat that year. The number of troops committing suicide has been on the rise and many blame it on soldiers feeling detached from reality. Matthis Chiroux, war veteran and anti-war activist, helps us analyze why these numbers are on the rise.
