    Is suicide a crime?

    Maybe they'll file it under "damage of military assets" agony-deep

      I was actually told that if you attempt suicide and don't succeed, you get charged and thrown into the brig for exactly that. However, the military is full of made up bullshit that just gets repeated over and over, nobody knows what's true.

        It's actually illegal for civvys, too. It's so that if there's someone suspected of attempting suicide, the police can break into their house and prevent kill them before they do the deed.

          Kind of a convoluted way to allow for interventions, you'd think they'd just make it legal as part of their duties.

          Also, I can't get the image of that pig holding a gun on the airman self immolating.
