Actually when you read the article, it is not about war veterans, it is mostly about older military personnel (above 50), most of whom never served in conflicts. 

My reasoning for this case is that military people retire younger than most other professions, and suddenly they face a situation where there are no routines, no community to belong to, it is probably a hard situation to adapt and find a new purpose for life.

Not taking any position on the need of military, just trying to understand why this situation prevail

 

 

That's not what the source says. Most didn't serve in the most recent conflicts, which isn't too surprising considering most are 50+ when committing suicide.
