The exact number of returning soldiers from the Iraq War who have committed suicide varies by source, but estimates suggest that thousands of veterans may have taken their own lives. Studies indicate that the suicide rate among veterans has been significantly higher than that of the general population, with estimates often cited around 22 veterans a day, including those from Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. The mental health challenges faced by these veterans, including PTSD and depression, contribute to this tragic issue. Efforts continue to address mental health support for returning service members.
I have heard at least %40 of troops that leave the army commit suicied from being unable to cope from pdsd.
so far 4,365 soldiers have been killed in the Iraq war
Absolutely not. I can recall circa 2005 when a member of the Minnesota National Guard was found attempting to bring back two AKs... he was sentenced to ten years in federal prison, IIRC. Soldiers returning from Iraq have not been allowed to bring back war trophies of any sort, weapons or otherwise.
Thus far, Iraq.
As of September 15, 2008, 176 British soldiers have been killed in the Iraq War.

YES
The soldiers did no go to Iraq until March 2003 and 9-11 occurred in September of 2001, so those soldiers were at home.
