We need to acknowledge the moral injury, cognitive dissonance, isolation, alienation, PTSD and other mental health disorders that our soldiers and veterans are experiencing when they are witnessing the double standards in the international policies.

Aaron Bushnell once believed in the pledge:
“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

However, he realized that justice and liberty is not meant for all. Unfortunately, self-immolation is a very painful way to protest these devastating double standards. Our soldiers and veterans are paying very high price for it.

Understanding and addressing the mental health impacts of witnessing double standards is crucial for the well-being of soldiers and veterans.

Getting ready to start my talk at BIC! I appreciate all the help and support from the BIC staff.
