Falsehood alert

Recently the Washington Post claimed: "Suicides among active-duty soldiers in 2007 reached their highest level since the Army began keeping such records in 1980, according to a draft internal study obtained by The Washington Post. Last year, 121 soldiers took their own lives, nearly 20 percent more than in 2006."

False! Actually: "The number of military suicides dropped during the Bush years compared to the Clinton years."

Details here, thanks to the invaluable Gateway Pundit.
