  • A Compassionate Nudge
    A COMPASSIONATE NUDGE THE ANCIENT BUDDHIST PSYCHOLOGY AND PRACTICE OF DEPENDENT ORIGINATION AS A MEANS OF HEALING WAR-RELATED MORAL INJURY King’s College of London Department of Defence Analysis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for a Degree of Master of Fine Arts Word Count: 14982 1 INTRODUCTION: WAR STRIPS YOU OF ALL...BELIEFS War changes you, changes you. Strips you, strips you of all your beliefs, your religion, takes your dignity away, you become an animal.1 - Anonymous veteran The notion of “moral injury” is neither new nor novel. Although the term only re-entered conversation over the past decade, the wound is intrinsic to all war, as the following accounts demonstrate: Doug Anderson served as a U.S. Marine Corp corpsman in Vietnam. On his first day in country he knew that something was terribly wrong. A squad leader beat an old man for no reason other than being Vietnamese. His fellow Marines no longer cared what the war was about or why they were all fighting and dying. Anderson felt that there was no longer a noble cause or strategy, only survival. His first patrol was the beginning of his education. “An immense darkness opened under me” he said.2 “What I saw that day in these men was a kind of soul damage.”3 Chester Nez was a U.S. Marine Navajo Code Talker in the Second World War. After returning home he tried to return to his past self, but his “memories were not peaceful like those of [his] grandparents, father, siblings, and extended family.” 4 Nez later said, “The dead Japanese wouldn’t let me sleep or function normally.

Zoe Rose Rudow “War Was Either Going To Be A Skeleton In My Closet Or I Could Try To Make It Something Else”: An Exploration of Moral Injury, Moral Repair, and Veteran Anti-War Activism ABSTRACT This exploratory study investigates the impact of collective anti-war organizing on veterans’ experiences of moral injury. Moral injury refers to the emotional, psychological, and spiritual unrest that emerges as the result of “perpetrating, failing to prevent, [or] bearing witness to… acts that transgress deeply held moral beliefs and expectations” in the context of war (Litz et al., 2009, p 695). While current literature centers treatment for moral injury through clinical interventions, this study investigates if and how anti-war activism can provide a process for moral repair.

  • Moral Injury and the American Service Member: What Leaders Don’T Talk About When They Talk About War
    ABSTRACT Moral Injury and the American Service Member: What Leaders Don’t Talk About When They Talk About War Lieutenant Colonel Douglas A. Pryer describes what moral injury is and how its validity as a mental health condition is supported, not just by a plethora of psychological studies but by a literary tradition that is probably older than the written word. He explores moral injury’s connection to two of the most talked-about trends during America’s recent wars, the U.S. military’s rapidly rising suicide rate and the nation’s growing reliance on remote-controlled weapons. Finally, he discusses how willful ignorance hampers efforts to prevent and treat moral injury and what must be done to overcome such self-delusion. Throughout, he employs impersonal research and intimate personal experience as lamps, using each to strengthen the light of the other in order to better illuminate his core argument: any nation or military that desires to truly honor its warriors must place perceptions of “what is right” at the forefront of its deliberations on when and how to wage war. BIO Lieutenant Colonel Doug Pryer grew up in Southwest Missouri. He graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Missouri State University and enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1992. After attending Officer Candidate School in 1995, he commissioned in the military intelligence branch. Since then, he has had several combat deployments and received numerous awards and decorations, including the Bronze Star, Combat Action Badge, and the Parachutist Badge. He graduated with a Master of Military Arts and Sciences (History) from CGSC in 2009.

  • 1 RECU 70970/80970 Theological and Spiritual Approaches to Moral
    RECU 70970/80970 Theological and Spiritual Approaches to Moral Injury and Soul Repair January 4-8, 2016, 9 am – 5 pm Brite Divinity School, Soul Repair Center Instructor: Rita N. Brock Teaching Assistant: Kori Pacyniak Course Description: We will study the new concept of moral injury, primarily in military veterans, but also in other occupational contexts. Recent works by Veterans Affairs clinicians have suggested that moral injury may be a greater factor than post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans’ poor mental health. We will explore the dynamics of moral formation, military training, and reintegration, precipitating experiences that lead to moral injury, pathways to recovery, the role of communities in the coming home process, and the theological, ritual, and spiritual implications of understanding moral injury as an aspect of trauma. In examining military training, as well as the impact of combat on conscience, we will also bring to bear neuroscience research on trauma, moral thinking, empathy, and ritual. We will reflect on theologies of trauma and survival, aspects of gender in the military, the power of the arts and ritual in soul repair, and civilian moral responsibility for the aftermath of war. The goal of the seminar will be to study these aspects of moral injury as they assist in helping communities in the work of soul repair after war, violence, and other conditions of extremity. Course Learning Outcomes: By the end of this course, students will be able to: 1. Understand moral injury and its consequences especially in military veterans, but also in other professions. 2. Articulate and implement resources for addressing moral injury and supporting recovery.
