Veterans transitioning to civilian life require a reconditioning process because they cannot simply stop operating at the intensity of war.

“I simply just started to realize that like when you take a dog of war and you let him off the leash and he bites and he attacks and he has one condition which is operating at the speed of war then when you come home you can't expect him to sit on your fucking lap and be a house dog”

Veterans must actively pursue new passions and purposes after leaving the service to fill the void left by their military career.

“when you leave that you have to try new things otherwise you'll never fill the void all right and don't try to fill it with the exact thing or something as big”
