In a report on the adverse effects of war on those in the armed forces, Newsweek (December 10, 2012) reported that "every month nearly 1,000 [veterans] attempt to take their own lives,"

adding, "That's more than three attempts every 90 minutes, at least one of them successful. Every time the credits roll in a movie, or the postgame show begins, another veteran is dead." Providing this interpretation of the overall numbers involved, Newsweek avoided descriptive statistics, since they would appear unwieldy.
