Returning Veterans Unleash a Storm


This picture reminds me of a line in All Quiet on the Western Front. The narrator muses that "If the war were to end today, we would go home and unleash a storm"

This is the key of demobilization. How do you bring a huge army home from a war without unleashing a storm on the society that created it?

How do you prevent the men who have been trained to self-assemble into a fighting force from self-assembling again in McMinn county?
