Let me make sure that I understand the question.
I think you're saying that the armed forces and veterans are, in a way, siloed away or maybe less connected with other aspects of society or other groups than would be positive. I absolutely think that is a challenge. In some ways it's necessary, considering the intensity of skills and training and what we ask of them for them to end up being quite cohesive within themselves.
I also think that what we're talking about is this challenge of how you move on from that cohesiveness, come apart and rejoin with new groups within society. How can we help them learn how to do that? That, indeed, could be benefited by finding ways to make sure that the armed forces are more connected with other aspects of our society before transition.
