Agree. Motorcycle accidents (another major cause of death for members of the armed forces) are likely completely unrelated from war. I find it implausible that suicides are not correlated with the wars. To say that suicides have topped violent deaths in war is a way of saying that method of causality has changed, but it doesn't mean that the cost of war has faded.
