When Anglo-Americans captured Native Americans and tried to assimilate them, the captives…","datePublished":"2026-05-16T18:00:00Z","dateModified":"2026-05-16T18:00:00Z"},{"@type":"Chapter","@id":"https://readstacks.com/books/tribe-on-homecoming-and-belonging-sebastian-junger/chapter-2-war-makes-you-an-animal/","url":"https://readstacks.com/books/tribe-on-homecoming-and-belonging-sebastian-junger/chapter-2-war-makes-you-an-animal/","name":"War Makes You an Animal","position":2,"wordCount":427,"timeRequired":"PT1.5M","abstract":"The puzzle Junger most directly investigates is why some war veterans report missing the war after they return home. The phenomenon is well-documented across conflicts and cultures and persistently confuses outsiders.
