520 Although veterans make up only 7 percent of the U.S.
population, they account for an alarming 20 percent of all
suicides. And though treatment of post-traumatic stress
disorder has undoubtedly alleviated suffering and allowed
many service members returning from combat to transition
to civilian life, the suicide rate for veterans under
thirty has been increasing. Research by Veterans
Administration health professionals and veterans' own
experiences now suggest an ancient but unaddressed wound
of war may be a factor: moral injury. This deep-seated
sense of transgression includes feelings of shame, grief,
meaninglessness, and remorse from having violated core
moral beliefs. Rita Nakashima Brock and Gabriella Lettini,
who both grew up in families deeply affected by war, have
been working closely with vets on what moral injury looks
like, how vets cope with it, and what can be done to heal
the damage inflicted on soldiers' consciences. In Soul
Repair, the authors tell the stories of four veterans of
wars from Vietnam to our current conflicts in Iraq and
Afghanistan--Camillo "Mac" Bica, Herman Keizer Jr., Pamela
Lightsey, and Camilo Mejía--who reveal their experiences
of moral injury from war and how they have learned to live
with it. Brock and Lettini also explore its effect on
families and communities, and the community processes that
have gradually helped soldiers with their moral injuries.
Soul Repair will help veterans, their families, members of
their communities, and clergy understand the impact of war
on the consciences of healthy people, support the recovery
of moral conscience in society, and restore veterans to
civilian life. When a society sends people off to war, it
must accept responsibility for returning them home to
peace.
