美军自杀率攀升 一天死一人
<p>美国国防部发布的最新数据显示，2017年美军现役士兵自杀率明显攀升，几乎每天都有一名士兵自杀。截止2017年6月3日，本年度自杀的现役士兵人数已达154人，比去年同期高出24人，同时也高于同时期阵亡的士兵人数。美国国防部发言人表示，自杀是他们目前面临的最紧迫的问题之一。她指出，士兵自杀的原因尚不明确，不过有数据显示，多次参与作战行动的士兵更容易自杀；但同时，他们也发现，自杀的士兵中有相当一部分从未参与过作战行动。这位发言人表示，为了帮助士兵解决心理问题，美国军方早在几年前就开同了加密的心理咨询热线。但军队里的大部分人，包括将领，都认为，寻求心理援助是懦弱的表现，致使很多人的心理疾患未能得到及时排解。</p><p><span word="Suicide">Suicide</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="US">US</span> <span word="military">military</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="sharply">sharply</span> <span word="increased">increased</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="year">year</span>, <span word="hitting">hitting</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="rate">rate</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="almost">almost</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="death">death</span> <span word="per">per</span> <span word="day">day</span>, <span word="figures">figures</span> <span word="show">show</span>.</p><p><span word="As">As</span> <span word="of">of</span> 3 <span word="June">June</span>, 2017 <span word="active">active</span>-<span word="duty">duty</span> <span word="suicides">suicides</span> <span word="reached">reached</span> 154, <span word="compared">compared</span> <span word="with">with</span> 130 <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="same">same</span> <span word="period">period</span> <span word="last">last</span> <span word="year">year</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Pentagon">Pentagon</span> <span word="confirmed">confirmed</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="BBC">BBC</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> <span word="number">number</span> <span word="far">far</span> <span word="exceeds">exceeds</span> <span word="US">US</span> <span word="combat">combat</span> <span word="deaths">deaths</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="same">same</span> <span word="period">period</span>.</p><p>"<span word="We">We</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="deeply">deeply</span> <span word="concerned">concerned</span> <span word="about">about</span> <span word="suicide">suicide</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="military">military</span>," <span word="a">a</span> <span word="Pentagon">Pentagon</span> <span word="spokeswoman">spokeswoman</span> <span word="said">said</span>, <span word="adding">adding</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="was">was</span> "<span word="one">one</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="most">most</span> <span word="urgent">urgent</span> <span word="problems">problems</span>" <span word="they">they</span> <span word="faced">faced</span>.</p><p><span word="While">While</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="reasons">reasons</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="increase">increase</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="entirely">entirely</span> <span word="understood">understood</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Defence">Defence</span> <span word="department">department</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="own">own</span> <span word="data">data</span> <span word="suggest">suggest</span> <span word="soldiers">soldiers</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="multiple">multiple</span> <span word="combat">combat</span> <span word="tours">tours</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="greater">greater</span> <span word="risk">risk</span>. <span word="But">But</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="portion">portion</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="those">those</span> <span word="taking">taking</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="own">own</span> <span word="life">life</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="never">never</span> <span word="deployed">deployed</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="figures">figures</span> <span word="show">show</span>.</p>
