I really enjoyed Sebastian Junger's TED talk on why veterans miss war. This is somewhat limited to understanding the relationships between members of a tight knit combat arms unit but there is something for all of us in it, and he relates his own experience and what he has learned from it in a compelling manner.

Civilians don’t miss war. But soldiers often do. Journalist Sebastian Junger shares his experience embedded with American soldiers at Restrepo, an outpost in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley that saw heavy combat. Giving a look at the "altered state of mind" that comes with war, he shows how combat gives soldiers an intense experience of connection. In the end, could it actually be "the opposite of war" that soldiers miss?
