Opinion Piece In NY Times Fuels Facebook Discussion, and More
On Sunday, July 16th, The New York Times ran Sebastian's provocative essay, Why Would Anyone Miss War? in their Review section.
Readers quickly took to the NY Times Facebook page and began commenting and posting their own opinions on the piece, and war itself. The discussion grew in intensity rather quickly; check out the conversation here (it is a public page, no Facebook login required). Feel free to engage and share your own thoughts on the article!
Also feel free to comment about it here as well, as a reply to this post.

And thanks to all of who posted their warm condolences here. I think I can speak for all of us who were close to Tim when I say we are most grateful for the outpouring of support, and the admiration of Tim's work.

Welcome
Welcome to my community website. This is a place for civilians, soldiers, veterans, and military families to discuss all aspects of the war in Afghanistan. I’m hoping that people can find the support they need, the answers they’ve been looking for or maybe even questions they haven’t thought of yet on this site.
Connect with me on Facebook or twitter or on my members page on this site.
I'm currently traveling around the country promoting the book but I check in often and will try to respond as quickly as possible. Thanks for your support.
You can pre-order the book here.
Best wishes,
Sebastian Junger
