Chapter 3 Analysis

How PTSD works and why are there factors that contribute it?  Soldiers or veterans want to have a "tribe" when they come back how are we able to provide that for them and what are ways we can do to help. One thing that stuck out was civilians thanking soldiers or veterans for their service. My dad and sister does not like hearing it for the same reason being in the book " what are you thanking me for", I had someone thank me for my service using my military i.d. for a discount, that said a lot. Another point in the book how we are meant to be close to each other which would explain how disasters bring us closer as a society but we rarely come together when it is outside of a disaster we are are focused on ourselves and being alienated from others.
