"We are trapped in a terrible tension between the soul’s craving for a
warrior archetype and the reality of a warfare that devastates the soul who
seeks it."
--Edward Tick, in War and the Soul: Healing Our Nation’s Veterans from
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
I wrote about this in my book The Work of Death, available on Amazon. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N1WO4XI
