Abstract in brief

Moral injury occurs when war veterans experience events that violate their deep moral beliefs, such as perpetrating or witnessing acts they find ethically wrong, and it can have long-term emotional, psychological, behavioral, spiritual, and social effects.
The concept of moral injury has been underexplored, with limited research on its lasting impact, especially in the context of modern or unconventional warfare, which presents unique moral challenges.
The article aims to critically review existing literature, define moral injury, and propose a conceptual framework and intervention strategies to help repair moral injury in war veterans.]
