  1. Read Junger's book Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging. He distills down some of the most important truths as to who we are and where we are going. His book is a result of a meeting he had with his Native American uncle decades ago who was a vet, and his experience as a war correspondent seeing the ongoing PTSD and suicide epidemic among returning vets. Self-determination Theory (SDT) is central to the thesis. Without the three essential intrinsic needs of autonomy, competence and community, we fall apart - and this has been true throughout human evolution. Modern society is flooded with extrinsic forces of greed, consumerism, wealth disparity and isolation. Society simply cannot survive if this is what we value. And now we have trump telling us we are in a zero-sum political game that must destroy America to "make it great again". No wonder vets are missing the cohesion and clarity of a military society - even if the war itself makes no sense. Read this book and share it with as many people as you can.
