RE: Veterans to March at LP Convention
No that's what happens when you don't read the study for yourself.
"Among cases where history of U.S. military service was
reported, Veterans comprised approximately 22.2% of all suicides reported during the project
period. If this prevalence estimate is assumed to be constant across all U.S. states, an
estimated 22 Veterans will have died from suicide each day in the calendar year 2010"

Now tell me whom I am to believe, the actual report, Adam or Wikipedia where just anyone can type in info whether it's true or not and has a disclaimer that states that fact?
Again as Ben pointed out, you are simply trolling and argueing about nothing, but what is new.
The true fact is is that people run around on this site and write stuff all the time without researching it. The link to the study is there, click on it, read it and you'll see it was 22 not 20, further more several news organizations investigated the claims and found them to not be true. Adam is one of the biggest people to push about the propaganda the government lays on people to justify using taxpayers money, this is exactly what they did. After that flawed data was released they got millions into the VA budget. There was plenty of more places within the VA that could have used this money much worse then directing it to go on something that wasn't true.
Furthermore, in respects to this post I am only trying to help him out by guiding him to the truth. The
more believable he is the better off he will be. Not that he ever stands a chance in hell of being elected and that's why I parody him on some of his post. It's all in good fun, just like the kind of fun he's having with all this because he knows what the bottom line really is. The object of a discussion board is to read the comments and comment, if that's trolling you are no less guilty then me.
Here is a story from 2016 instead of 2012
https://www.militarytimes.com/veterans/2016/07/07/new-va-study-finds-20-veterans-commit-suicide-each-day/
The study was done in 2012, the study, why did the press not grab onto the story until 2016? Because Trump was running for president and he quoted the study, so all these news organizations that hated him wanted to prove him wrong so they went and looked into the study's data and found it flawed so they could call him a liar.
