    Why veterans miss war

    https://www.ted.com/talks/sebastian_junger_why_veterans_miss_war


    In the interest of the upcoming Memorial Day, despite the heavy costs, I found this very insightful.

        You'll appreciate it I think. Watch Restrepo too if you have not. If you have, it's by the same guy that helped make that flick.

          Restrepo is great. Junger is doing a kick starter for another movie as well.

            Hornet's Nest is good as well.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...

              It was interesting. I can't bring myself to watch Restrepo anymore. Shit, it took me 2 years before I could bring myself to watch any kind of war movie.

                Good watch, lots of truth to it
                If you can read this thank a teacher. If it's in English thank a soldier.

                    Junger has another doc that's a much longer version of that TED Talk (1.5 hr,doc). Just watched it this morning and its pretty damn good - not combat focused though. Its about coming home.
