Veteran suicides are growing at a rate that will soon surpass that of civilians. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the rate of American heterosexual HIV rate infections has remained stable for years. Five days ago President Obama vowed to “chart a different future, guided by our love for those we couldn’t save,” and committed $100 million additional American taxpayer dollars to a “world without aids that he wants for his daughters.”
On December 1, 2013, President Obama hosted the annual “World AIDS Day” celebration. The President gave a heart warming speech prioritizing his new Executive Branch goal of curing AIDS, committed 100 million taxpayer dollars to additional AIDS research and presided over the hanging of a big red AIDS ribbon on our White House.
After reviewing the transcript of Obama’s AIDS day speech, I looked up the most recent data on AIDS infections and deaths in America. I also researched data on veteran and active duty military suicides.
The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) claimed 15,529 Americans infected with AIDS died in 2010.
