On Wednesday [ June

Texas is scheduled
to execute its 500th death-row inmate
since the Supreme Court
restored capital punishment in 1976.
The state
has executed
nearly five
times as many people
as Virginia,
the second state on the list.

A new report on
U.S. military deaths
contains a stark statistic:
An estimated 7,057 service members
have died during military operations since 9/11,
while suicides among active duty personnel
and veterans of those conflicts
have reached 30,177
— that's more than four times as many.
The data highlights
the divide between the dangers posed by war
and the persistent mental health crisis
in not only the military
but the country at large.
