Ethics, Combat, and a Soldier’s Decision to Kill 
by Chaplain (Maj.) Sean Wead, U.S. Army (Military Review)
While solid faith, moral grounding, and a developed character help anchor you to peace of mind during the turbulence of battle, understanding the principles of just war theory can help prepare your mind for combat and ultimately help you resist the devastation moral injuries can bring to your life and the lives of others.
Moral Injury in the Context of War by Shira Maguen, PhD and Brett Litz, PhD (Va.gov)
What is moral injury? Like psychological trauma, moral injury is a construct that describes extreme and unprecedented life experience including the harmful aftermath of exposure to such events. Events are considered morally injurious if they "transgress deeply held moral beliefs and expectations" (1). Thus, the key precondition for moral injury is an act of transgression, which shatters moral and ethical expectations that are rooted in religious or spiritual beliefs, or culture-based, organizational, and group-based rules about fairness, the value of life, and so forth.
Talking Spiritual about Moral Injury (VA.gov)
In the context of war, moral injuries may stem from direct participation in acts of combat, such as killing or harming others, or indirect acts, such as witnessing death or dying, failing to prevent immoral acts of others, or giving or receiving orders that are perceived as gross moral violations (2). The act may have been carried out by an individual or a group, through a decision made individually or as a response to orders given by leaders.
Real Warriors - Real Battles - Real Strength
Spirituality can help you feel connected to something bigger than yourself and build resilience at the same time. The Real Warriors Campaign encourages help-seeking behavior among service members, veterans and military families coping with invisible wounds.
Clergy Toolkit (VA.gov)
Clergy and spiritual communities play an important role in supporting Servicemembers and Veterans in their personal well-being and spiritual health. This toolkit was created for clergy who work with our Nation's Veterans and Servicemembers who have or are at risk for developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Much of what is contained here is also helpful to clergy members supporting other, non-military trauma survivors.
