It relates because PTSD is a really serious thing and, like you said, mental health is not a concern for the people in charge. I'm agreeing with you.

Is this the whole paper or is there a link I'm missing to read more? It doesn't seem to disagree that military involvement increases suicide rates:

U.S. Army annual suicide rates for males generally paralleled trends in the civilian population, but did so in a more dramatic fashion.

FWIW the 36% didn't come from nowhere, I used the data available on the OSD website. I started looking into the suicide rates of other professions but the CDC breaks it down in a different way (per 100k, not total deaths) and I lost interest while trying to convert it. Either way, 1/3 of deaths being suicide is a lot.
