A spiritual care specialist working in a Veterans Affairs setting encounters a veteran who expresses moral injury related to killing in combat. The most appropriate framing for the chaplain's response is:
-
A
Reassure the veteran that their actions were legally justified by military orders
-
B
Provide a space for the veteran to explore guilt, meaning, and moral reconstruction without judgment
-
C
Refer immediately to a psychologist because moral injury is a clinical diagnosis
-
D
Offer absolution or ritual cleansing based on the chaplain's own faith tradition
