Army, Navy suicides at record high

Suicides among active-duty forces across the military are now occurring at a rate faster than one per day.

Military and medical leaders have been searching for answers to what's been called an "epidemic"

Most are traced to failed relationships, something linked to frequent deployments

With six weeks left in the year, the Army and Navy are already reporting record numbers of suicides, with the Air Force and Marine Corps close to doing the same, making 2012 the worst year for military suicides since careful tracking began in 2001.

The deaths are now occurring at a rate faster than one per day. On Nov. 11, confirmed or suspected suicides among active-duty forces across the military reached 323, surpassing the Pentagon's previous high of 310 suicides set in 2009.

At an Army base near Seattle, soldiers are committing suicide, murdering their families—and in one case, waterboarding their own kids. Winston Ross reports from a base on the brink.
