Dr. Kelly Posner’s Letter to the Editor, NYT

 Suicide is a crisis in the United States military, and it is long past time that the government took meaningful action to address this urgent problem (“Congress Acts on Veteran Suicides,” editorial, Feb. 9). Although veterans represent less than 13 percent of the population, they make up 20 percent of suicides in America every year.
Ninety percent of those who die by suicide have a serious mental illness that is diagnosable and treatable if we simply screen for mental health the way we screen for blood pressure.
