In episode 2 of the L-Squared Podcast, Leslie and Lindsay interview U.S. Air Force veteran Steven Frisch about the pandemic affecting U.S. military veterans: Suicide. 

• Since Sept. 11, 2001, just over 30,000 veterans have died by suicide — four times more than the number of U.S. military personnel who died in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.
• In 2019, the most recent year of data available from the Department of Veterans Affairs, 6,261 veterans in the United States took their own lives.
• That is a 7% decrease from the previous year, but, on average, 17 veterans still lost their lives to suicide every day. That’s a staggering number, particularly when compared to the suicide rate of non-veterans.
• The VA reports that former service members died by suicide at a rate twice as high as non-veterans, and veterans ages 18-34 died at a rate almost three times higher.
