According to data published by the Pentagon, 163 service members committed suicide in Q3 of 2021 which broke down into 70 active service members, 56 reserve members, and 37 members of the National Guard.
Suicides among active members of the military sank from Q2 to Q3, though suicides grew among reserve and National Guard members.
Almost twice as many members of the U.S. military died of suicide from July to September than have died from the Coronavirus throughout the whole pandemic.
As of January 8, 86 members of the military have died from the Coronavirus.
In September, the whole number of Coronavirus deaths in the military was 43, and the doubling of deaths from September to January is partly because of the Delta variant spike, according to the Pentagon.

The statistics emerged this summer in a report from the Cost of War Project – a joint research effort between Brown University and Boston University.
"Unless the U.S. government and U.S. society makes significant changes in the ways we manage the mental health crisis among our service members and veterans, suicide rates will continue to climb," the paper warns. "That is a cost of war we cannot accept."
Meanwhile, In the Navy case, which is still at the district court level, the servicemembers are not challenging the COVID-19 vaccine mandate as a whole. Their concern is with the policy's approach to religious exemptions, which they say violates the First Amendment and a law called the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
