Fact Checker: Sarah Palin’s inaccurate claim about suicides of veterans of the ‘war on terror’

“How many have done more than this generation in uniform? The war on terror is the longest military engagement in U.S. history. So many have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Tens of thousands wounded. More than 6,800 dead. The strain on military and their families, it is enormous….The longer someone is deployed and redeployed, the more likely they will suffer PTSD…They suffer disproportionate unemployment numbers…And worse, oh friends, worse, the suicide rate among our best and our brightest is 23 a day.
