Quality 0.00 · 3 views · Updated 16 days ago

A moral injury is an injury to an individual's moral and personality, maybe holistic conscience and values resulting from an act of perceived moral transgression on the part of themselves or others. It produces profound feelings of guilt or shame, moral disorientation, and societal alienation. In some cases it may cause a sense of betrayal and anger toward colleagues, commanders, the organization, politics, or society at large.
