Like I said, those are mostly youth numbers, but it's still a very small percent. Apparently the generals don't have an issue with it. Are you suggesting they ban anyone who has prior thought of suicide? This line of logic suggests it's too risky to allow white men in the military because they account for 70% of suicides.
