[QUOTE="Klay, post: 16296240, member: 45120"] I can't say with 100% certainty but I think he was referring to the OP. For what it's worth, here are my 2 cents (for OP). I think until you break the mentaility of us and them, you wont be happy. As long as you see civilians as a different class of people than you, you will never be able to have that same commraderie you did in the military. You will either conciously or sub conciously view them as inferior since they dont have the same experiences you did. This type of thinking goes beyond the military but it is easy to see why it happens alot to serviceman. I havent been in the military but from what I read and talked to people who have been in, everything is very structured. So everyone you serve with has essentially the same schedule as you and you experience the same major life events. It is easy to see why you would form strong bonds with them. It is possible to have equally as strong bonds with those who are "civilians" but you need to find people who are like minded or have the same goals as you. That will be a struggle though if you can't see a civilian as anything but a civilian. I wish you well though and hope you find peace and something that can inspire you. [/QUOTE]
