The Mental Frame & Specific Daily Actions to Succeed | Andy Stumpf
"The Green Beret community has now lost more people to suicide than combat operations since 2001. I don't know where the SEAL community is with that, but I bet you they're close. The numbers will eclipse for sure."
Stumpf revealed that U.S. Special Operations Forces are now losing more personnel to suicide than to combat, a shocking statistic that underscores the mental health crisis in elite military communities. He noted that many operators brought significant childhood trauma into service, which combined with operational stress, alcohol abuse, and post-service isolation creates lethal conditions. Despite millions invested in prevention programs, the crisis continues to worsen.
