I do believe that moral injury runs deeper than PTSD.

When it comes to moral injuries
and PTSD.

I do believe
that moral injury runs

deeper than PTSD
when it's ties to your identity.

And I say that
growing up as a kid,

I grew up
in a Christian household.

I grew up in a household
where right is right.

Wrong is wrong.

I grew up in a household where

you treat people with respect.

You have different common
courtesies and things like that.

And then to be placed in a war
type of situation and scenario,

you really find yourself
going against them.

All of these things
that you grew up

understanding and believing,

and now you're kind of feeling
like you're

contradicting yourself, you're
contradicting your beliefs,

and you're going against

some of the things

that you know, deep down
morally is wrong.

But now you have to make a

decision of where

it could be life or death,
where you got to do something

about it.

But you know that you really
deep down don't want to do it.
