Award-winning journalist and New York Times Bestselling author Sebastian Junger has seen first-hand the cost of war, and he knows the impact that battlefield trauma has on soldiers. In this episode we explore the role community has in shaping a service member's transition to civilian life after service. In a disconnected society, Junger maintains that human connection is invaluable to healing. As a non-military anthropologist, he teaches us all through combat journalism and offers a necessary narrative about the purity of connection, the pitfalls of transition, and the power of national service.
