Blog claims military officers plan suicides to keep them occupied with a project?

I read some crazy stories among what I post here but this one has me baffled. I don't use other blogs unless they link back to a news source. There is simply no way to verify what a blog has, including mine, unless it is sourced. I do not know the site Duffel Blog but went to the link I was sent and pretty shocked by what I read. If it was meant to be satire, it isn't funny. I would have just ignored it but it has already been read almost 4,000 times. That makes it of great concern.

Operations Officer With PTSD Still Planning Suicide After Five Years

Following these extensive changes, Walsh seems in worse shape than ever. However, military psychiatrist Lt. Cmdr. Mark Zimmerman is not worried.

“We don’t advertise it, but we sometimes encourage operations officers to plan their suicide as a last ditch means of delaying them. DSTRESS has had despondent OpsOs on the line saying ‘I’m going to kill myself, and I have the means to do it,’ and the only way they could stop them was by saying ‘okay, we believe you, but who’s done the [Intel Preparation of the Battlespace]?’, then telling them some stories about botched suicide attempts. It’s been one of our most successful strategies. Also, going through the familiar processes of formal planning, even for something as self-destructive as suicide, is excellent therapy for these guys, and it keeps them occupied with a project.”

If this is true, it is one of the worst things I have ever read. Planning for suicide instead of planning to heal? If it is a joke then it is among the sickest things out there.
