Tribe Chapter 3 Analysis
In Tribe Chapter 3 Junger talks about PTSD- short term, long term, causes, how to avoid it and many other elements of it. Junger talks about how most soldiers actually suffer from short term PTSD not long term and those who do suffer long term may have been affected by a experience prior to war. The chapter continues to talk about PTSD and how it affects our soldiers but then leads into what we can do as a society to make things better. On page 100 it talks about how we don't give jobs to our veterans, we don't make our veterans feel necessary in society anymore, and we make our veterans feel like outcast. The chapter provides insight into this situation that really instead of taking our veterans back into our society, it is as we are pushing them out. Our veterans are forced into isolation and don't have the tribal brotherhood feeling that they did during times of war.
