TED Video:  Why Veterans Miss War (Sebastian Junger)

Watch Sebastian Junger, author and creator of the documentary Restrepo, describe the physical and emotional effects of combat.

I think a curse should rest on me — because I love this war. I know it’s smashing and shattering the lives of thousands every moment — and yet — I can’t help it — I enjoy every second of it.
