The strain of transition from the army to civilian life will be greatest in those who enter the army in adolescence. Army discipline weakens self-discipline: in the army, status, on the whole, is not competitively achieved. Demobilization will mean the sudden loss of an orderly world and a sense of of security and belonging. Government agencies comparable to the army's mental hygiene clinics must help the discharged soldier who is groping for a role in new surroundings. Smaller social units, such as clubs, would help him, because, when reinforced by the family and the community, they give a man firm social roots and moral support
