Great and welcome piece. Moral injury is not abstract it is socially and clinically provable. A good friend and Vietnam veteran was recently diagnosed with “moral injury” and will receive increased assistance from the VA to ease his suffering - 60 years after his service. How many Japanese, after Hiroshima and Nagasaki and Surrender, sustained moral injury. All of them.

I look forward to your next piece, but my thoughts are that this “Regime,” our first, has crossed more than enough red lines that the only practical approach is to end the Regime, as quickly as possible. In toto.

I follow several wonderful thinkers whose writing means a great deal to me. None more than you. I hope that your list of action items will include the political mobilization needed to end this regime through the constititional method of impeaching and removing both Trump and Vance. Of course, I realize that this is regarded as impossible to achieve at the present time. But nothing else can stop, or at least mitigate, the irreparable harm that is being inflicted on our country and our people. It would only take a handful of Republicans in the House and the Senate to become independents caucusing with the Democrats to transform our politics so that impeachment and then removal becomes possible. Thom Tillis and Don Bacon recently decided not to run again because they couldn't bring themselves to support what Trump is doing. They showed a degree of conscience, courage, and independence. They should be encouraged to keep going, and find a handful of others.
