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”

Leaving the military is extremely difficult because it becomes the primary identity for special operators, and there are few transferable skills for the civilian world.
“When you transition away from it, you never thought it was going to be hard. You thought you were going to transition. You were going to find that same love and passion, energy you had for being in the military. And then when you don't find it, it's a huge fall from grace.”
