War is a killer of some of our best and youngest men and women in America. However, not aIl of the death happens while depIoyed or at the hands of enemy troops. Sadly, because of their service's impact, many of our young heroes are dying at their own hands. Forgotten Battalion follows the Second BattaIion, Seventh Marine Regiment, one of the toughest and hardest hit during their tour in Afghanistan. ln 2008, 1,200 members deployed to cover a territory the size of Oregon, engaging in heavy combat with insurgent eIements with no air support and beyond suppIy lines due to miIitary cutbacks, they routinely ran short on food, water, and ammunition. Upon returning home, they soon discovered the horror of war and the chaIIenges of surviving were not over. Their suicide rate is approximately four times the rate for other young vets and 14 times the average for most Americans. |
