We discuss "Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging" by Sebstian Junger. In his book, Junger reflects on combat trauma and the role of community in providing meaning and support for warfighters. The book highlights the contrast between the cohesive, mission-driven community life of the soldier and the individualistic, sometimes isolated nature of peaceful suburban life. In Junger's view, the transition between a focused community and an individualistic one exacerbates the difficulties in recovering from wartime trauma.
