Military hospitals are hooking veterans on opiates.

"The treatment has led to the growing number of crimes committed by veterans, says RBC.

Many of addicted veterans, one in every three of them, to be more precise, either die from a drug overdose, a lethal combination of various potent drugs or commit suicide. One out of five dies in car accidents. Among those who were diagnosed with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), the numbers are even worse: up to 80 percent of patients die from the above-mentioned reasons."
