And if you kill yourself because of a war, you shouldn't be in the Army.

That's true, but only in the case of a volunteer army. In the case of WWII (or any other war in which conscription was introduced), it is understandable that there would be more suicides, because some people are forced to join the army who, under normal circumstances, wouldn't do that. You're right in this case though; I suspect a lot of the people who "can't take the stress" were people who thought the war would be swift and bloodless, they were going to do more marching in ticker-tape parades than getting shot at, etc.
