For the second year in a row, the U.S. military has lost more troops to suicide than it has to combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But the suicide rate is a further indication of the stress that military personnel live under after nearly a decade of war.

Figures released by the armed services last week showed an alarming increase in suicides in 2010, but those figures leave out some categories.....
