A big part
that we've heard from veterans

is that they feel like
they can't share

some of these experiences

because they're worried
that they're going to be judged

not only by family members,
but by society at large.

And so they end up
having to keep this as a secret,

and that ends up doing them
a lot of harm down the line.

And so I think communities
that are understanding,

like other veterans,
can be a great source of support

for something like moral injury.
