Sebastian Junger: Why veterans miss war


His two documentaries were awesome, and even though they were a different country, the brotherhood shown existed for me and mine.

Because war is conflict, and conflict that you win is primal.

His "peace-loving" audience does not know how to preserve peace.   His "peace-loving" audience also doesn't understand anything about how males work, or understand the difference between men and women.

Every time telling his audience "how to stop war"... you stop wars by winning.  And you will never stop war.  Clausewitz's famous quote applies, and there will always be those who want to dominate, and those people in his audience will start wars because they think they know better than others.

It has been 50 years since I have been in combat.
I would not trade the experience for a million bucks, but I would not do it again for 10 million.

Didn't watch, but I don't doubt it. Those people and most civilians will never understand. I wish people like Junger would not try to explain it. War vets are their own secret society.

(I'm a sorta war vet, CAR from Gulf War 1 and Lebanon).

I think he is on to something but I think at least for me it's the excitement of the mission, the feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day and the singularity of purpose while deployed.
