The Good Kill: Just War and Moral Injury by Marc LiVecche
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF reader, 11 MB
Overview: War wounds the soul. It is not only the violence that warfighters suffer against them that harms, but also the violence that they do. These soul wounds have come to be known as moral injuries: psychic traumas that occur from having done or condoned that which goes against deeply held moral principles. It is not surprising that the committing of atrocities or the accidental killing of the innocent would hurt the soul of warfighters.
The problem is that many warfighters at least tacitly follow the commonplace belief that killing another human being is always wrong–it’s just that sometimes, as in war, it is necessary. This paradoxical commitment makes the very business of warfighting morally injurious. This problem is also a crisis. Clinical research among combat veterans has established a link between killing in combat and moral injury and between moral injury and suicide. Our warfighters, even those who have served honorably and with the right intentions, are dying by their own hands at devastating rates–casualties not of the physical threats of war, but of the moral ones.
