The past twelve months have seen nine attempted suicides among returning young Afghan veterans in Denmark, according to an as yet unpublished report from the enlisted men’s union HKKF.
“This is a surprisingly high number. The attempts have come within a short period of time and it is very worrying that returning soldiers feel so bad, given that the military has a system to help them,” says Consultant Yvonne Tønnesen. Tønnesen speaks to soldiers when they contact the HKKF Lifeline.
