Suicide of three US Special Forces soldiers in 48 hours.
The American media reported the suicide of three American soldiers stationed in the 10th Mountain Combat Division of this country. One of the dead was a US soldier in Afghanistan.
The 10th Division of the US Army Mountain Combat Forces, based at Fort Drama in New York, reported the suspicious death of three U.S. soldiers within 48 hours.
According to the Military Times website, one of these soldiers was one of the last American troops to leave Afghanistan. Tyler Thomas, a 21-year-old specialist in Army Signal Support from Texas, died Sept. 16. The next day, two other soldiers died at the headquarters: Angel Green, 24, of Barstow, California, and Sika Tapolol, 26, of Washington.
The 10th Division of the American Mountain War is still investigating the cause of death, but Lt. Col. Josh Jacques, a spokesman for the 10th Division, said it is believed all three died of self-harm.
Angel Green served in the division’s 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, and had recently returned from Afghanistan on 6 September. Green and his unit were in Afghanistan during the last painful days of the United States.
A spokesman for the 10th Division said troops from the 10th Division were present at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul and left the airport during the final withdrawal. This was Angel Green’s second deployment to Afghanistan. He was also sent to Qatar once.
The three deaths in a row have added to the military’s difficulties in reducing the death toll and suicide risk between military personnel and combatants, the report said. Earlier this year, a Brown University study found that more than four times as many soldiers and disabled people who served in the Iraq-Afghanistan wars were killed by suicide.
