why veterans miss war.. tedsalon 2014
what is it that he missed… we have to answer that.. if we want to stop war
i think he missed brotherhood.. brotherhood has nothing to do with how you feel about the other person.. ie: i love these other people more than i love myself..
think about how good that would feel, for a year, then come home, back in society, like the rest of us, not knowing who they can count on, not knowing who loves them, who they can love, not knowing exactly what anyone they know would do for them if it came down to it.. that is terrifying
compared to that kind of alienation.. war – psychologically – in some ways is easy… that’s why they miss it..
we have to understand/fix that alienation…
