Story here. Excerpt:

"WASHINGTON - Army soldiers committed suicide in 2007 at the highest rate on record, and the toll is climbing ever higher this year as long war deployments stretch on. At least 115 soldiers killed themselves last year, up from 102 the previous year, the Army said Thursday.

Other findings in the 2007 report included:

93 of the 115 suicides were active duty troops; 22 were members of the Army National Guard or Reserve who had been mobilized.

Five were women."
