I’ve been reading Nadia Abu El-Haj’s Combat Trauma: Imaginaries of War and Citizenship in Post-9/11 America (2022) which describes how the psychiatric landscape of ‘moral injury’ in military service in the USA has changed since the ‘real guilt’ of the post-Vietnam era has veered towards a focus on ‘repairing the souls’ of soldiers (etc) by chaplains to get them back to active duty, or outsourced to largely church organisations for veterans, with the post 9/11 wars now depoliticised in an uncritical ‘support our troops’ propaganda climate.
