Josh Morris emphasizes the importance of listening to veterans' stories with compassion to prevent moral injury and offers spiritual care resources for military chaplains, religious leaders, caregivers, and civilians. He suggests that military chaplains are uniquely positioned to help returning soldiers resist the amplification of existing moral injury and make change possible.

Josh Morris, a military chaplain and veteran who served in Afghanistan, emphasizes the importance of listening to the stories of returning soldiers with compassion to prevent moral injury. He argues that when society greets returning soldiers in ways that reinforce cultural norms that frame military service as heroic, it exacerbates moral injury and prevents veterans from resolving inner conflicts and coping effectively with civilian life. Morris draws on stories from other veterans to illustrate how cultural assumptions about military service can complicate moral injury and a veteran's return home. He also draws from liberation theologies, ideology critique, and Antonio Gramsci's advocacy for the working class to suggest useful perspectives and spiritual care resources for military chaplains, religious leaders, caregivers, and concerned civilians. Morris suggests that military chaplains are uniquely positioned to help returning soldiers resist the amplification of existing moral injury. Moving from "thank you for your service" to liberative solidarity can galvanize resistance and make change possible.
