"Our lonely society makes it hard to come home from war."
- On average 22 vets kill themselves every day
- Sebastian Junger believes that the trauma in war effects the war vets, but the society they come back to does
- In war you have a tribe, you trust others with your life but in modern society there is so much alienation and depression
- Huge gap between rich and poor and major racial profiling
- The country the vets fought for is not stable or safe enough for them to come back too
- Poor women in Nigeria are less depressed than rich women in North America\
- Our country divides itself instead unifying
- PTSD rates declined after 9/11 because one major trauma unifies people
- Need to fix our society so we can also help the vets
- Why is it that people only come together when it effects them personally?
- How can we make it our common goal to try and fix society?
