When veteran friend groups avoid discussing meaning and purpose

My unit brothers and I meet up every few months and it's the only place I can talk about things that matter, but lately when someone brings up politics or what's happening in the world, we all retreat to safe topics because we're discovering we don't agree about what we fought for or what any of it meant. The thing that brought us together - service - might be the thing we can't actually discuss anymore and that feels like losing something irreplaceable.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Your shared experience of service is being threatened by the discovery that you've drawn different conclusions about what it all meant.
