  Thank you to Sebastian Junger for sharing his story. His book 'In My Time of Dying'  is out now.

  Only realised half-way through that this dude isn't just a War Reporter, he directed AND produced "Restrepo" - one of the greatest War Documentaries ever made.

  LADbible videos are fabulous.  I wish they were longer or included follow ups with some of the interviewees.  Real journalism providing real information and education.

  Both his books, “Tribe” and “War” are master pieces. They helped me understand and accept my PTSD

  His experience in Sarajevo talking about being depressed when he came home because in Sarajevo he had banded together felt alive every minute was precious he was on the cusp of life and death minute by minute… it’s so true and needs to be examined and spoken of more . Beautiful this man’s experiences and his life is brilliantly told in this short thirty minutes. He needs to do more of this.

  Mr. Junger, I really appreciate your honesty. Talking about war feeling "real" and meaningful as opposed to life in peacetime, talking about the fact that war reporters "make a living off watching people suffer," neither of these points have I ever heard before. I am particularly impressed by your point about meaningfulness.

  He just said &quot;land war in Asia&quot; and &quot;inconceivable&quot; in the same sentence. Surely that wasn&apos;t an accidental Princess Bride reference? That would be inconceivable...

  Read all of his books, watched all of his documentaries. Modern day renaissance man and one of my greatest role models, should be even more known and his lessons.

  This was a fascinating interview. I thought it was very interesting when he spoke about the ethical difficulties of being a journalist who documents these tragic situations. <br><br>But also, am I the only Princess Bride fan who noticed him say &quot;a ground (land) war in Asia? Inconceivable!&quot;
