"The value of just war lies in its being not only a salve to the conscience of the king or president who orders troops into battle, but as a reassurance to the troops themselves that the killing they do is orally righteous. Otherwise it is murder."

[Psychologist Caplan arranged for veterans to talk to civilian listeners without interference]
The listeners were coached to begin by saying, "As an American whose government sent you to war, I take some responsibility for listening to your story, so if you want to talk about your experiences at war and since coming home, I will listen for as long as you want to talk, and I will not judge you."

Over the course of time, what happened to me is that pretty much all the moral walls I had, in regards to anything and everything, were pretty much obliterated . . . I was gonna die tomorrow so I didn't give a fuck . . . then that last little wall [against killing] was taken away. And now I am having to deal with . . . what I did to others. At the very basic level, was all of that worth it?
