Military vets please watch the short 13 minute video in the above link and give me your feedback. I watched this video today in group and it shed some light on something I didn't know how to put into words before I saw this video. This is not to discredit combat trauma (as I suffer from combat trauma) but there was also another component that I just couldn't put my finger on until I watched this video.
I told my wife the other day how much I missed my buddies and how at peace I was when they were with me. I didn't need them around so I could talk about my trauma, as much as I just needed them around to feel that connection. Anyways I am bad at articulating what I want to say, so I will let Sebastian Junger say it for me. Please watch this video and give me your feedback.
