Former war reporter Sebastian Junger, who embedded with multiple U.S. military units and earned an Academy-Award nomination for his documentary “Restrepo,” has now turned his attention to what happens when soldiers return home. Junger suggests that American society alienates veterans and exacerbates their PTSD by not supporting them. “The vets aren’t messed up,” Junger says. “We are. We as a society.” Junger talks about his new book, “Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging.”
