He advocates for veterans to separate themselves from their former community to find new purpose and happiness.

“getting away getting away from the community my community being the soft community like separating myself from the community has really [ __ ] helped me a lot”

John Lovell argues that veterans must proactively find a new mission and band of brothers to successfully integrate into civilian life.

“if you don't find a new Mission and you don't find a new Band of Brothers you're not going to make it”

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.”
