- Australian Commando Association’s Steve Pilmore says more soldiers have been lost to suicide than in combat during the Afghan war.
“Don’t forget we’ve already lost more guys to suicide since the Afghan war than we ever lost in combat operations,” Mr Pilmore told Sky News Australia host Chris Kenny.
“It has an ongoing effect and I don’t think this is helping one bit.
"The suicide rate for veterans is horrendous."
the age of the ignorant soldier is coming to an end.
Very valid observation 👍
Boston Dynamics is building machinegun donkeys to replace them.
@@julianpetkov8320 they will be interesting when their speed and ai is extremely improved, otherwise my money is on the functioning CHEAP explosive drones.
Always been unknown guinea pigs for large Phar corps. Very sad.
The 40+ shots they get were all "safe and effective".
@@julianpetkov8320 Witheld for 75 years tells you everything.
Sooner or later they always find out that they have been used as a colonial cannon fodder by the British royals and the US and their service had nothing to do with defending their homeland but the interests of the British royals.
Sadly true.
This is where you’re wrong, because the global war terror affects everyone, including Australia. As a part of NATO, Australia has a duty as well.
Remember, what happened to the United States when they didn’t want to get involved in World War II? The war came to us and the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor. Same as said about the war on terror, you don’t get involved next thing you know you’ll have terror inside your own country.
It’s sad what happened to somebody’s man, but you signed up for duty for a reason, and to serve your country, this includes defending your country from threats from a far.

@@vicdiaz5180 Pearl Harbour was staged. The poster is correct. Stop sending your children to be their fodder.
Absolutely correct
100% ,🇬🇧🏴
God bless all ANZAC forces!
Signed a grateful American
PS. Send more cannon fodder...
@@lukei6255Plenty at liberal universities only problem the mentally defective aren't fit for military service 😂
American invade everyone especially Muslim country
Thanks for saving Australia WW2 mate.
@Quasnob We didn't save Australia but it was an Honor to help you out.
As a disabled vet. I know that every phone line into the va medical system begins with a crisis’ number to call in case of suicidal thoughts.
Which really just sends the swat team around to your house so they can persecute you
Can you remember after which shot you started having them? It would be good if Big Pharma gets taken to court and the colluding ADF too.
Vast majority of Australia appreciate you mate. Stay strong.
@@Quasnob Yep. Can't stand how they just want to strip away medals from the those who served their time in Afghanistan without considering a case by case basis.
How much of what we see has been due to the complete absence of support from higher command?
@@eb2505 I've never served but yer it is wrong.
The money wasted on Ukraine should have been spent on our own veterans and for their mental health needs! Ive always said that since day one! Albo has got to go! Let's go Albo!
Half a billion dollars given to the war memorial! How disturbing is that
@@bpro3396 exactly it's disturbing!
Certain jabs can do that to you (not necessarily mRNA).
F'you for cheapening the damage our soldiers have endured in service to make some sort of conspiracy theory point. I mean really f'you. I've served and if you were in front of me saying that I'd punch you in the face .
Very sad, the situation and your comment
@@martinepstein3332 Perhaps do some research for once. Bosi can tell you about it. Have also heard this testimony from a US soldier on video. Some of the substances used can make a person want to kill others, or take their own lives.
Leaders need to be leaders,from the commander in chief on down in the chain of command. It starts with the commander in chief first.
Respect veterans!!
Are they choking on the prosthetics they use as drinking vessels?
What about the real war criminals... Howard, Blair, Bush...
Very sad
Screw this lol, wear your medals with pride! Would never give mine back.
I am seeing this now!!!
Its amazing how quick they forget about and condemn those brave individuals, when most of a country never would or politicians decide adverse actions without proof, are why this happens!!
Based on my experience with younger ADF members I have no concern for veteran suicides. They don't make em like they used to.
It’s on becoming leadership from those who should know better
Soldiers are to defend themselves and their territory.
Sorry no medals should be stripped, even if the person has been convicted of war crimes. Even the VC could’ve been stripped for anything, but then it was decided no one should ever lose it even for murder, so why should any soldier lose their campaign medals. You can’t collectively strip everyone’s medals.
How about we cancel the subs and put the money into health care for the people that fought for this country?
That seems a better way to spend the money
@AnAl's AWOL now we have that. Who's Mark?
How did they fight for your country? Afghanistan was no threat to you
@AnAl's AWOL I'm being mean? You guys started it
@@AnAlsAWOL Do you 2 need a room? You know you could just give each other your DM details. You come across as scared teenagers.
@David Beames I'm not into him. No need for a room. Plus he loves Mark not me.
These guy now a days have weak minds. Because of their upbringing and the school systems. Ive lived with Vietnam in my head , every day for over 50 years. And we went thru some pretty horrendous things.
Veterans need Jesus Christ. He is an anchor in the storm.
A lot of soldiers believe in Christ , and we pray before every mission …..
@@johnschroeder1545 I have two sons in the military. They are believers. I am so glad that you pray before a mission.
Has Andrew Bolt left sky news..?
Rumour is Andrew is suffering from prostate cancer.
Interesting. Perhaps that is also an excuse for something a lot more serious.
He has identified as aboriginal and is writing a book about how they discovered electricity 1st
On a holiday...
@@Joshdyisdifh ..at the SPA?
We them when they fight for our freedom but when there is no war we spit on them. Makes me wonder why do our people want to serve at all.
Just don't join up why would you... the Australian government can employ private military to do the job.
The underlying problem with modern warfare is it requires more men than there are who are capable of handling it. Humans like all communal species have individuals evolved to perform specific functions within society. Teachers, healers, farmers, politicians and hunter/worriers. Only about 10% of men have evolved to be worriers, we call them Alpha and Sigma males, you know them the "bad boys" who can just cut off their emotions on demand. Unfortunately these few are also the men we require to be CEO's, managers and engineers etc, the doers in society. Many of these men join the military but become the officer class, the grunts on the ground are mostly made up of beta and gamma men who are good at taking orders but not emotionally equiped to deal with the horrors of war.
Ive got some medals. Come take them, i dont give a shit. Its just material.
Great for the enemies
Bidden and staff could be charged cival rights laws kun-tification constitution rights..rights under the colour of law 242sec 18 its a crime
really suicide is a personal decision. you got to b crazy to do that
You have to be severely depressed. I worked at a company where one of the guys I occasionally interacted with took his own life - his daughter found his body. He was always a very angry man - so something was going on in his life which he couldn't control.
@@eb2505 yes, it can be caused by severe mental health issues. But the other cause are the situational factors or stressors that push some into total despair and hopelessness. No mental issue here. For example a broken relationship, a soldier surrounded by enemies, traumatic events etc.
@@lukei6255 I agree. For that matter, any of those factors may have been at play in the life of the man I mentioned. We/I were never told what may have pushed him to do this - which of course is a very private and personal matter , so is understandable.
4Q
Why is David McBride being charged and threatened with jail for having the courage to come forward about the murder of unarmed prisoners by Australian soldiers ?
...how easy it is for facts to get in the way of another ignorant comment.
US influence is putting every obstacle in the way of justice in Australia because their own incidents of this kind.
They will have to train lot's of trans, because no sane man would want to join the Australian Army!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅
Common sense.....
It's only when the pats on the back stop and the lights turn off do the atrocities of what you have done come back to haunt you..
The circle of killing..
You kill
And eventually those kills return to kill you........✝️
But you support the war in Ukraine?
You've got no f***ing idea
Most soldiers are coward and Australian had no right to invade Muslim land
Can't wait to see you here in October. How's that wall to wall Labor governments working out for everyone? I'm sorry your ABC doesn't allow comments so you have to come comment on Sky but I guess you are cool with zero dissent being a hard core ALP supporter and Marxist.
@@jalalabdullah5043
Agree...
No one is attacking Australia..
It’s a joke , Respect to them all
Baby killers killing themselves out of guilt? WHO COULD OF SEEN THAT COMING?
@Buddy Then they aren't veterans in any way shape or form. Being in the military doesn't make you special (besides being Autistic) and not being deployed means you're worthless to begin with.
Only dead baby I saw in Afghanistan was beheaded by the taliban. Our medic helped save a bunch of sick and wounded children though that were injured by taliban ied's. It's almost as if you don't know what you are talking about.
@@3-2bravo49 Sounds like you've got a pretty pathetic K/D ratio. If you only managed to observe issues and didn't take action to curb the heathens, then you're no better than John McCain, who isn't a hero because doing NOTHING doesn't make you heroic.
