Moral injury affected my spirituality... I lost faith

Nicholas Provenza (US Marine Corps, 2018 - 2022) talks about how moral injury challenged his faith in God.

Transcript

So my moral injury affected
my spirituality extremely

because I lost faith.

I, you know,
I completely lost faith

because -
and it's actually funny

cause I talk about this
very often,

losing faith in the
higher power, in God

and everything was something
I didn't even expect.

You know,

it's just when I was I put 
myself in such a dark place.

Like I said, I gave up hope.

And it's like, you know, if

if God was real, how is he
just going to let this happen?

How is all this, like,

messed up stuff
going around the world and

I'm just supposed to sit here

and believe that, you know,
God's going to just fix it all?

Like he's
not fixing all my problems.

I feel like,

you know, I feel like I'm
here alone, just suffering.
