We bear the mark – Ben Weakley : The Presbyterian Outlook
This is a challenging and graphic read but it shares a deep truth about moral injury and how war changes lives… I am thankful that The Presbyterian Outlook published it.
Ben Weakley spent 14 years in the U.S. Army, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. He reflects on the cost of killing and the work of healing.

Thank you for sharing this. The human struggle with war and killing and their impacts is explored in Jon Brooks’s songs, War Resister and Kigali.
In case I have not shared them previously.
Thanks, Paul. I’ll listen to them
