The number seems incredible. Most of the offenses seem to be a result of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which was called shell-shock in WWI and combat fatigue in WWII. UK appears to have more of an anti-military culture than the US does, also, which may exacerbate the problem, if vets feel that their contributions were not appreciated.
