Please watch this Ted talk: http://www.vox.com/2015/5/15/8608091/facts-about-PTSD   It will help you understand better why young men want to re-enlist, and the power of brotherhood in war.

  “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Manchester Airport and thank you for flying with us!  And for the Military Service Members on board:  Welcome home! In the name of the captain and his crew, I want to thank you for your service. We are glad you are back safely and we appreciate your service and your sacrifice to this country.” It became quiet for a moment. A strange silence. It felt inappropriate to just jump up and grab our stuff from the overhead. Most people must have felt that way. The two soldiers in the row before me looked down on their seat.  I could tell that being on this airplane ..read more
