re: #92 Decatur Deb
Look for the answer in the PBS definition. Could their wording be including a select set of veteran suicides?
No. This is the definition they used in the article:
This Memorial Day, we decided to take a close look at the number of American service members who lost their lives during wartime in an effort to put their sacrifices into a broader perspective.
“During wartime” does not include subsequent suicides.
