- Title
ONCEPTUALIZATIONS OF WAR AND MORAL INJURY IMPLICATIONS FOR COMMANDERS AND THERAPISTS.
- Authors
CONNELLY, DANIEL
- Abstract
This article traces competing conceptualizations of war, in particular the views of war found in amoral realism and pacifism, to demonstrate that the way any individual views war matters, both to the consciences of our military members and to the intellectual and moral basis from which society approaches today’s moral injury crisis. When as a culture we perceive or characterize war as entirely evil or as outside morality, we deny its place as a legitimate and enduring tool of good statecraft. This denial in turn creates distinct challenges for psychological and spiritual care providers and commanders.
