TED Talks: War and Peace premieres on PBS Monday, May 30, 2016.

In this excerpt from TED Talks: War and Peace, journalist Sebastian Junger, after spending years reporting from war zones, talks about how treatment for soldiers returning home with PTSD is not just a reflection on their own mental health but on our society as a whole. The question is not, "can we save the vets," Junger says, but, "can we save ourselves?"
