Zitate Sebastian Junger
„[... ] zu sagen, was genau Krieg ist, das ist so, als würde man die definitive Antwort darauf suchen, was Liebe ist.“

„The Army might screw you and your girlfriend might dump you and the enemy might kill you, but the shared commitment to safeguard one another’s lives is unnegotiable and only deepens with time. The willingness to die for another person is a form of love that even religions fail to inspire, and the experience of it changes a person profoundly.“
— Sebastian Junger
War
„How do men act on a sinking ship? Do they hold each other? Do they pass around the whisky? Do they cry?“
— Sebastian Junger
The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea
„Society can give its young men almost any job and they'll figure how to do it. They'll suffer for it and die for it and watch their friends die for it, but in the end, it will get done. That only means that society should be careful about what it asks for.... Soldiers themselves are reluctant to evaluate the costs of war, but someone must. That evaluation, ongoing and unadulterated by politics, may be the one thing a country absolutely owes the soldiers who defend its borders.“
— Sebastian Junger
War
„human beings need three basic things in order to be content: they need to feel competent at what they do; they need to feel authentic in their lives; and they need to feel connected to others. These values are considered "intrinsic" to human happiness and far outweigh "extrinsic" values such as beauty, money and status.“

Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging
„The public is often accused of being disconnected from its military, but frankly it's disconnected from just about everything. Farming, mineral extraction, gas and oil production, bulk cargo transport, logging, fishing, infrastructure construction—all the industries that keep the nation going are mostly unacknowledged by the people who depend on them most.“
