The only way to help our returned soldiers recover from the
trauma of war, is through a social support network of peers
and the culmination of a positive self image. The way to
facilitate all of this, begins with a job. Having a job,
sets the groundwork for happiness, income, and family
stability as a result. If government run factories are
made, that hire only veterans as the workforce, this
environment can be created. The fellow factory workers will
have unorthodox daily routines at work, such as meetings to
discuss their traumas, facilitated by a councelor. They
will have above and beyond the norm, group activities
outside of the workplace, such as weekly company bbqs and
birthday celebrations. This will be more than a job, but
also a place for recovery and ongoing treatment, a place
for belonging. The most critical component will be the
function of the factory, the job itself must be in the vain
of helping society, providing something valuable to the
world, such as food, medicine, or shelter to the poor. All
of these things are needed by veterans as well as society,
we just need to rearange pre-existing facilities and funds
to make things function more logically. the costs will be
easily paid for through the greater gestalt of integrated
therapy and work.
