What especially sticks out to my laymen self is the trend where active duty numbers decrease over time, but self-inflicted casualties continue to increase.

Additionally, the 2nd last page - from 2010 ~ 2019 the total deaths trend down from 1,485 to 893. Impressive! However, self-infliction continues to rise. :(

Thank you for sharing!
