Army Secretary John McHugh
THE PENTAGON - Following another devastating report on the increase in the number of soldiers committing suicide, the Army is scrambling to solve the continuing crisis.
Secretary of the Army John McHugh held a press conference at the Pentagon to address the Army's concerns.
"This year, we've lost more soldiers to suicide than combat. I'm here to tell everyone that the Army is doing everything in its power to raise suicide awareness," he said. "We've come to realize that our previous campaign of forcing troops to sit in a briefing room for days at a time to view over 2,000 PowerPoint slides just wasn't effective."
