Suicide in the Army is becoming more common, and now there's a plan to prevent, and recognize which troops are suicidal. In 2012, the Army recorded about six suicides per week. The Army is working towards predicting which soldiers are going to kill themselves, and then stopping them before it's too late. There are mixed emotions about the idea, but for the most part people are all for it. "'In the work world that I know, there's nothing with this kind of depth," says Helen Darling, president and CEO of the National Business Group on Health, a non-profit group that helps Fortune 100 companies improve health care and productivity."
