军人自杀被广泛认为是当代美国的一种危机。事实上，在美国伊拉克和阿富汗战争期间，军人自杀率一直在上升，也是美国军人死亡的主要原因之一。军人自杀被广泛认为是战争创伤和军事机构冷漠或失败的可耻迹象。本章将这些假设置于塑造军人经验的整个战争制造系统的更广泛背景中。它从军事生命政治的角度描述了这个系统，在这个系统下，寻求监督和防止军人自杀的机制与已经使士兵受到伤害并使他们有能力实施暴力的机制从根本上联系在一起。
Military suicide is widely regarded as a crisis in the contemporary United States. Indeed, the rate of military suicide has risen consistently over the course of the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and is one of the leading causes of death among American military personnel. Military suicide is widely regarded as scandalous sign of the trauma of war and the indifference or failure of military institutions. This chapter places these assumptions in the broader context of the entire system of war-making that shapes military service members’ experience. It describes that system in terms of military biopolitics under which the mechanisms that seek to police and prevent military suicide are fundamentally linked to the mechanisms that have already exposed soldiers to harm and empowered them to commit violence.
